Infocube represents persistent storage of data. Hence it is physical data in database tables that can be easily queried, stored, manipulated or reported against. The calculations happen record by record very distinctly.

However Live cache is in-memory data that the system holds in the memory to do rapid calculations. It is essentially a data model that is useful to do calculations that require large amount of data at once. Eg. Time series data for number of years or Orders that represent the transactions in different nodes in network.
