Course Description
Note: this course is a subset of our Intel Processor and Platform eLearning Course.
This course will be useful for anyone dealing with designing, verifying, validating, debugging, or developing for x86-based platforms. The x86 instruction set architecture has evolved over a period of almost 40 years. This course describes numerous aspects of the current architecture but also explains how we got to the current architecture based on the history and decisions made. It doesn't matter whether you're a hardware engineer or a software developer, this course has an enormous amount of relevant info for you.
