Hardware Secrets takes an in-depth look on how CPUs based on AMD64 architecture work, like Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 FX, Turion 64, Opteron and some Sempron models.

"In this tutorial we will explain you how AMD64 architecture – which is used by Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 FX, Opteron, Turion 64 and some Sempron models – works in an easy to follow language. You will learn exactly how this architecture – also known as K8 or hammer – works so you will be able to compare it more precisely to competitor architectures from Intel."
