We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Microarchitecture",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release ARM core overcomes speed restrictions at 90nm from
Faraday Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "32bit RISC processor with eight pipeline stages has separate instruction/data caches and scratchpads, a write buffer, a memory management unit and a JTAG ICE interface".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release System host board powers down with Core2 Duo from
Portwell Technology: "Intel Core 2 Duo processor PICMG 1.3 system host board marries maximum computing power with lower power consumption".
In May 2007, we covered the news from MIPS Technologies
concerning its MIPS32 74K cores
- take a look at Synthesisable 32bit processors run past 1GHz
which says: "Next-generation processor core family is based on an innovative embedded microarchitecture".
Take a look also at the news release from Mercury Computer Systems, Raytheon applies RapidIO and DRAM control IP,
as well as Digital TV specialist licenses processor core from MIPS Technologies,
and Boards embed multimedia performance from Avalue Technology.
