Intel Technical Lecture

Michael Luong, an Intel product manager, gave a presentation introducing microprocessors. The presentation covered the background and history of microprocessors, including what they are, the development of transistors, and Moore's law. It also discussed computer components and memory hierarchy, how processor architecture and microarchitecture work, and how performance is measured. The presentation explained early microprocessor designs and how processors have evolved over time to improve performance through techniques like pipelined processing, in-order execution, and out-of-order execution.
