Description

This is a softcover version of the original hardcover edition released December 28, 2006 (ISBN 9781593271046). Computers perform countless tasks ranging from the business critical to the recreational, but regardless of how differently they may look and behave, they're all amazingly similar in basic function.

Once you understand how the microprocessor-or central processing unit (CPU)-works, you'll have a firm grasp of the fundamental concepts at the heart of all modern computing. Inside the Machine, from the co-founder of the highly respected Ars Technica website, explains how microprocessors operate-what they do and how they do it.

Now in softcover, the book uses analogies, full-color diagrams, and clear language to convey the ideas that form the basis of modern computing.

After discussing computers in the abstract, the book examines specific microprocessors from Intel, IBM, and Motorola, from the original models up through today's leading processors.
