but cache costs very high, hence its used in small amount

Cache that is built into the CPU is faster than separate cache, running at the speed of the microprocessor itself. However, separate cache is still roughly twice as fast as Random Access Memory (RAM). Cache is more expensive than RAM, but it is well worth getting a CPU and motherboard with built-in cache in order to maximize system performance.

Usually cach memory is the one inside the cpu or in the motherboard, and is not faster nor sloer, it depends of the speed of your ram, you can buy very fast ram if your motherboard support it. "cach memory" can be a piece of ram too, or even a piece of hard disk space, because "cach memory" is a piece o backup memory that stores frequently used information to make the system faster.
