Web Links
- WWW Computer Architecture Page: Listing of conferences,
people, other comp arch information.
- USENET comp.arch: Internet newsgroup,
unfortunately the signal-to-noise ratio has dropped over recent years.
- Real World Technologies: A more technical forum with
IMO higher quality discussions than comp.arch, but the posting activity is lower. Also has some
interesting articles.
- Tom's Hardware: More consumer and enthusiast oriented, but has some interesting high-level descriptions of
processor architectures and all of the latest benchmark results.
- At Random: Monthly column in the IEEE Computer Society
magazine from Bob Colwell (chief architect of multiple Pentiums). Not
all articles are about processors, but they're almost always entertaining
to read. (Bob Colwell has stopped writing his monthly column, but the
archived articles are still worth a read.)
- Intel Microprocessor Hall of Fame: Stroll down memory-lane starting from the original 4004. Die photos for most older CPUs. Only goes
up to the first P4.
