Pls explain about cpu architecture
x86 is a architecture..but what it is??
pls explain me

[mahyar]

x86 is a instruction set

in a nutshell architecture is how gates inside the cpu are connect to each other

X86 is an instruction set. An instruction set refers to all the machine code instructions available and how they translate to actual CPU operations. Think of it like a dictionary for processor computations.

As @mahyar said, "x86" is an instruction set. It tells you what kind of commands the CPU can understand. It doesn't tell you anything about the CPU's architecture. There are tons of different CPU architectures all of which can execute x86 code.

 

A command could be something like "Add these two numbers". The instruction set tells you how the command that is sent to the CPU to do this operation actually has to look like. And the architecture defines how the operation is actually done internally.

Thank you all
