Cache memory systems and methods thereof are provided. A first example cache memory system may include a central processing unit (CPU) and a first memory, a second memory positioned between the CPU and the first memory and storing at least one block of the first memory and a block quantity determination unit which determines a block quantity indicating a number of blocks of the first memory to be stored in the second memory. A second example cache memory system, including a cache memory receiving a request to provide data associated with an input address, determining whether the input address is included in the cache memory, loading a plurality of adjacent data blocks, associated with the input address, from the main memory if the input address is not included within the cache memory.
