Guides on Processors

[BlackDragon8303]

I need to find guides on old processors to new x86 processors. Just want to get in depth with the basic architecture of the processor, and the steps it takes to sort out instructions, FSB, etc etc, I been trying to find one here on anands page but I cant seem to find it, if someone could link it, that would be great.

I doubt you can find a guide like that ONLINE. Maybe intel's website, but still unlikely.

If you want, it's easier to find a book that explains this subject.

Right now I'm reading:
The Intel Microprocesors. 8086/8088, 80186/80188, 80286, 80386, 80486, Pentium and PEntium Pro Processor Architecture, Programming, and Interfacing. by Barry B. Brey.

oops. It's listed for $97.00 at Amazon.com. Maybe you want to find a cheaper alternative.

I borrow my copy from the Library.
