Which device is mind for storing data temporary? when you are inputting data which device receives it before processing it?
I will also like to know what intermediate storage is.

I think when data is under process then operations need to store the data any where before completing the operations. And when operation to be performed on data is done the data goes to the permanent storage.

What is intermediate storage? Can any explain?

Speed mismatch means when fast device sendind data to slow device. So to provide synchronization between them buffers are used.

Please explain in detail about speed mismatch.

No. They are not the same. Buffers are used only in the case of speed mismatch and registers are meant for temporary data storage.

Are buffers and GPR same?

I think, Intermediate storage (buffer) can be applied only, when 2 systems speed are not even.
e.g: Download information some link, can first stored on buffer. From buffer only it can be send to storage device.

Ok. then what is the purpose of registers....? According to, micro controllers we study only registers are used for storing the data as temporally which is used for execution. after execution , data again store in temporary registers and go back to memory.

GPR means General purpose registers
