CPU Architecture Charts Five-Decade Technical Evolution
This article outlines how CPU architecture has evolved over the past 50+ years, from the Intel 4004 and the 1978 Intel 8086 x86 to modern heterogeneous multi-chiplet SoCs from Intel, AMD, and Apple. It explains core microarchitectural components — front-end, registers, ALU/FPU, LSUs, AGUs, caches, SIMD units — and highlights how parallelism and memory hierarchy drive performance and efficiency.
Scoring Rationale
Comprehensive architectural overview for practitioners, but lacks novel findings, benchmarks, or official source citations, therefore moderate impact.
