After the CPU finishes processing information, where is that result typically saved so that it is still available the next time the computer is powered on?
The system BIOS (ROM)
Main memory (RAM)
Non-volatile storage such as a hard disk drive or SSD
CPU cache memory
Results that need to persist after power-off are written to non-volatile, secondary storage-such as a hard disk drive, solid-state drive, or cloud storage. Main memory (RAM) and cache are forms of volatile memory; their contents are lost when power is removed. ROM chips like the BIOS hold firmware, not user data generated by processing.
