CPU Architecture

CPU architecture refers to the design and organization of a computer's central processing unit (CPU), which is the brain of the computer. It defines how the CPU processes instructions, handles data, and interacts with other components. Key elements include the instruction set (the basic commands the CPU understands), the way it manages memory, and its internal structure like cores and pipelines. Different architectures, like x86 or ARM, influence performance, power efficiency, and compatibility. Essentially, CPU architecture shapes how efficiently and effectively a computer can perform tasks.
