Computer architecture & CPUs Videos Recommended on Hacker News (120)

Computer architecture & CPUs is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 120 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2009 and 2026 — 397 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.

Computer architecture: CPU design, pipelines, caches, RISC-V, ARM, x86, GPUs, memory, branch prediction, supercomputers, mainframes, benchmarks, Moore's law.

Why HN keeps sending people here — on 8-bit computer update: “I think I learned more from Ben Eater’s “Building an 8-bit breadboard computer” series [0] than my intro to computer architecture course at universit…” — an HN commenter, 2022.
