Architecture

Modern CPU

A stylized superscalar processor die with caches, prediction logic, and specialized execution units.

This view focuses on the kinds of functional regions you would typically find inside a contemporary stored-program processor.

Selected component

Integer execution

ALU Cluster

Executes core integer math and logical operations such as add, subtract, compare, mask, and shift.

This is one of the busiest areas of the processor because general-purpose program flow depends heavily on integer calculations.
