Hey this was incredibly produced and clear enough for many people to understand, you guys should publicize it more because i stumbled upon it almost casually.
When a actual Microprocessor company makes a video UNDERSTANDING how they work? Heh, and for the fact this actually isn't made bad. Don't get me wrong other content in TH-cam that explain this sometimes can be easier and maybe harder. But I actually am amazed Intel really is doing this
@@hariranormal5584 absolutely
I want intel to make more technical video like this. The more the better, I have a genuine interest for the inner working of the product instead of just buying it and wish for larger caches , better features.....As a customer , I really love your dedicated effort of creating a highly understable video with good analogy
First time I have Phone, Internet access and Social Media, I started Addicted to all about Technology
Especially about CPU
I would look at posts from fabian gisen and agner
This means you know who is George Boole
Honestly Boyd Phelps did an incredible job with these two videos. Granted I've been around since the 486 days and have always had an understanding of the various CPU architectures, but this was incredible with it's depth.
The editor needs a raise
I love this series! It's incredible how these devices even work without a hitch given how mindbogglingly complex they are.
What's really amazing is they don't run without a hitch, there is an acceptable error rate that they recover from. That is part of why systems are more stable today than previously, more threads, more cores, if a thread crashes it doesn't take down the entire system.
It's not just at the CPU level but errors still exist they just don't take down entire systems as often.

I don't normally thumbs up or comment on a video, but, when I do, it's because a channel has done something really amazing and I want them to continue!
Incredibly well done, breaking down such a complex topic into chunks that are digestible isn't easy and you guys did that super well!
This was actually incredibly well put together! I always found that nothing really would ever bother to explain how exactly the subcomponents of a CPU talked to eachother, but this really helps show how a CPU is a lot of smaller, specific-purpose modular pieces talking to eachother
Thanks Boyd for these very clear video's i knew the basics but Part2 was very interesting and helped me to paint a clearer picture of what was going on. I would love to see more of these video's and even go more in depth!
Love it. Explanation on branching and speculative execution is great. We must emphases that branching is the key of turing completeness which permit the birth of computer from previous simple calculator.
Lots of information with high quality content. Great effort Intel !!! And the host is doing an amazing job. His way of teaching is marvelous. For the last few weeks, I was searching for the topic "Computer architecture". Since, I am a hobby programmer, I would like to know more about how CPU execute my code. Thanks a lot for this series. :)
Having had the opportunity to be at Intel for years (no longer there), so proud to see these series coming up. Very well done, something rather complex explained in a simple form. Hope that entice and nurture the imagination and curiosity of everyone, especially younger ones!
The content of this video was so clear that I saw myself working at an intel lab for a brief second in a near future. Thanks Boyd !!! Great Video
This is absolutely brilliantly explained and presented, thank you.
Oh thank u very much! reading "Inside the machine" book for now and it was too hard to understand all of this. This is great videocourse!
It was truly remarkable. The best and most stunning lecture about CPU that I've ever seen.
This is entertaining :)
I already have a CS Degree and work as a Network Forensics Analyst but I still find this entertaining better than watching some non sense videos. I like learning about the physics of the electrons or photons inside the CPU highway and logic gates and conducting test's of new architecture designs in a digital 3D simulator environment.
This is literally amazing. Great explanation and great work on building these technologies. Speculative execution was really cool for me to learn about
Very well explained. The microcode decoding part was especially informative.
Absolutely brilliant. From start to finish.
Absolutely amazing, thank you!
Awesome animations and analogies, altogether very easy to understand! I admit I'm heavily biased, but I think even a lay person with some passing interest would be able to understand a few of the important big-picture points.
24:30 Yes, it was very beautiful 😌
I am in chip design from 1984 and tried many times to explain to people what am I doing. If I would have had these videos my explanation could have been easier. The animation and graphics are unbelievable quality. The Part 1 is a good umbrella explanation of the chip design in general and CPUs in particular. I will call this the 10.000 feet view. The Part 2 is the 1 foot view directly into the processor architecture so some industry lingo and knowledge is required. I would have liked to have a 3.000 feet and a 100 feet view for popularizing chip design and CPU for people who do not have an electronics background. Intel has all the capabilities to do it so please consider it. In the times of Artificial Intelligence and Biotech advancements making more people understand where all started and how it humans can benefit from their merger should be a good topic to cover. Looking forward for new videos from you.
This is so good, it is easy for a newbie to understand. And it’s not boring for someone who’s already knows how a CPU works.
This is beautiful.
Thanks for this content, I liked it. I wish and hope more technical content like this one in the future.
Extremely motivative and well comprehensive.
This was actually extremely informative. I already knew a little bit about micro-architecture before hand.
And now, seeing how some of this works, both the re-order buffer and branch prediction seem like they could be exploited to run unsigned code.
Please do more of these! I'm really enjoying the series.
Loved it. Thanks!
great video with excellent graphical representation to simplify the complex concepts.
Well done, Intel. Loved it. Wish there was more of this.
These videos are so impressive, I would pay for a full course
Awesome videos I can show people to help them understand what I am talking about, only thing I think was missed(unless i missed it) was how hyperthreading works in the pipeline.. that'd been cool to show.
Great summary of uArch. Awesome!
Love this intel!!! Do more of it and yes let the world know about this. Ads maybe.
This magic! many civilizations shook
superb. mind-blowing. beyond one's imgination!
I have not got words for congratulate this amazing videos !!!
This video series is fantastic ! The animations, production quality are top-notch!
Thank you for this beautiful explanation of modern cpu. I hop you don't stop producing this series. I think GPU will be interesting topic to discuss as we all know intel have great iGPU today and hopefully will release discreate gpu soon
what a beautiful and educative illustration!
Thanks so much. This is fantastic. I'm using this to teach my daughter.
Incredible! the explanation and animation both!
Honestly an incredible series! They seem to have found a perfect balance of details versus overview. It's not so high-level to seem common sense and it's not so in-the-weeds to seem impossible to understand.
Also, the animation work is amazing. Great work all around.
I really liked the TV sticks with the embedded technology they came out with. Above all I've found that the key to unlocking the potential of any product is to have in specification RAM from a quality manufacturer!
This is just awesome!
Haven't been this captivated since reading Peter Norton's pink shirt book; "Programmer's Guide to the IBM PC".
Deep and geeky is what the future is made of.
Fantastic! Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I learned interesting things !
This is an incredible video!
It is a freaking miracle that we can make these things work reliably!
This was amazing, thank you!
Great video, congrats for making it!
Thank you Intel for putting this up. I like it a lot!
very very great video!! thank you very much!
Seen both parts. Great....
Please keep teaching us similar content. Some people like us are thirsty to learn
That was soo soo fantastic, I can't believe it wow.
This is a great series! Hope there are more of them!
Stellar presentation!
Great videos, thanks!
Great job and great video!
thanks for complete and clear explanation
This was a great, short and in-depth explanation with awesome animations & examples. Please make more such videos.
JUST AMAZING... thanks
This is an incredible video!! Leave it to Intel to produce it. Thank you!
This is really good, nice video
Thank you.
Keep it going!
Man if you guys could go even deeper, it whatever just amazing work
Will you make more of these? They were incredibly informative: before, caches and pipelining were this black magic that was hard to reason about, especially as my previous reference point was essentially AVR MCU architecture (let's leave aside PIC because that's an entirely different beast altogether).
Fantastic!
Thank you very much for these kinds of videos, truly amazing.
Good stuff. This was highly interesting watch. Enjoying my 11900K. Looking forward to Alder Lake and Intel’s GPU launch.
This is by far the most informative video I’ve ever seen on the architecture of cpus I finally understand almost everything about how they work and why they behave the way they do simply incredible thank you so much
This was really cool. Any can get a part 3 that explains how this is all translated onto a physical processor? How do we take these concepts and functions and make them work in the physical world?
Think of it in this way, trillions of electric signals go through a CPU, these electric signals are sometimes of low current, sometimes of high current. Low current is interpreted as 0, while High is interpreted as 1. Now we have all the characters that make up the language of computers. The CPU then uses Hardware languages like VHDL to operate these 0s and 1s. This is how Physical things do software work.
This mini-series was excellent! yummy good!
Amazing...
great and simple explaination dude
Such an awesome breakdown, thanks so kindly for posting! Great video!
Excellent Presentation.
Totally found this by accident, but so informative.
Highly informative
This guy is awesome !!
Mindblowing
very helpful for CS students
Very well done, but still waiting for the cache episode.
Really well made and communicated and much better than I was expecting.
Outstanding
Nice!
Exceptional.
Loved it.
Boyd is brilliant
Excellent! :)
It feels like uOps are the actual basic instruction set. Which makes it feels like ISA is actually a higher level language hardcoded in the hardware. But then what is the point of the higher complexity ISA and not using uOps as the basic instruction set directly? Is it why x86 has like 2500 instructions in its ISA? And RISC-V on the other hand as less instructions. 50 I think. Which sounds like many more than the really basic instructions so I guess they also use uOps?
>Why not use uOPs as the basic instruction set directly?
You could, but the issue is that it’s going to cost you a lot of memory. Really it’s just space complexity, instructions take up little memory, uOPs a lot.
uOPs are basically a bunch of wires that go throughout the CPU and say things like “connect register 4 to the bus leading to the ALU” or “write output of ALU to the register file.” Each uOP also has to tell which modules of the CPU stay on and which stay off, and for the vast majority of instructions, each uOP is going to be sending a LOT of 0s to all the modules that don’t need to be operating for this instruction. While an instruction alone can take up say 2 bytes, each uOP could be telling hundreds of modules what to do.
The decode stage itself is pretty dumb usually. It essentially uses storage, the instruction is an address and in that storage for that address there is some firmware for all the uOPs.
Also each architecture can have all sorts of different uOPs for the same ISA.
Awesome video
Well processed.
Incredible
