A bus that operates only within the internal circuitry of the CPU, communicating among the internal caches of memory that are part of the CPU chip��s design. This bus is typically rather quick and is independent of the rest of the computer��s operations.

Contrast with external data bus. The bit width of internal and external data buses are not always equal.
