cpu architecture
CPU architecture refers to the design and structure of a central processing unit (CPU). It includes the instruction set architecture (ISA), microarchitecture, and organization of the CPU. The ISA specifies the instructions that the CPU can execute, while the microarchitecture implements those instructions using different components such as registers, ALU, cache, and control unit. The organization deals with how these components are interconnected to achieve efficient execution of instructions. In essence, CPU architecture determines the performance, power efficiency, and compatibility of a processor.
