Some of my education in this is from a book called Inside the Machine which I really enjoyed. I noticed I was able to easily understand the earlier architectures but at some point they got really complex and I didn’t find it accessible. I took a look at amd64 and it was like.. haha no. I’m sure I could learn it if I was spending every day with that layer but I’m not. From what I’ve seen of RISC I’m hopeful I can retain it even going long intervals without looking at it.
