CPUs 0b1100101: Intro to computer processors

Ever wonder what all those electrons in your computer are actually doing? This is a gentle introduction to how computer processors work. We'll cover some of the basics of programs, instructions, ram, and registers. Learn about the difference between RISC and CISC, and some of the fun tricks that modern computers use like pipelining, super-scalar pipelines and caches. Don't be scared, no background necessary!
