Modern Microprocessors – A 90-Minute Guide

https://www.lighterra.com/papers/modernmicroprocessors/superscalarmicroarch2.png
Processors execute instructions in a pipeline, with multiple stages for fetching, decoding, executing, and writing back results, allowing for a four-fold speedup without changing clock speed. Modern processors use superscalar execution, where multiple instructions are executed in parallel, and branch prediction to minimize mispredictions, but still suffer from diminishing returns due to deep ...
