Given the extreme complexity of the modern CPU chips and the parallelism of their internal processes, as well as the fact that the “architecture” (the instruction set, registers, etc.) is now far removed from how things are done at the hardware level, - does the notion of a “CPU cycle” still make sense?



Is this comment on the correct thread?


No. Thanks :) Anyway, looking forward to an answer!
