Process versus microarchitecture Quick tip Think of a chip as a multistory urban building Microarchitectures are blueprints; they convey what to build •A microarchitecturerepresents a specific design, a single, unique building. An architecturecomprises a family of buildings based on a unifying theme. •Example: Willow Coveand Goldmont
