Architecture of Some Recent CPU Chips
Abstract
This note examines the architecture of some 32-bit chips namely Intel’s 80386, Motorola’s 68020 and Zilog’s Z 80000. The architecture is evaluated along various dimensions, viz. number, size, and type of registers; data types and types of instructions; facilities for address translation; support for system software; support for user programs; and ability to interface with other hardware devices."
