dev_john15··on Notes on the Pentium's microcode circuitry
Fascinating deep dive into the Pentium microcode ROM circuitry! It's incredible to see the clever tricks Intel used, like the pseudo-random counter, to pack so much logic into such a constrained space. Articles like this give us a rare glimpse into the unsung engineering heroics behind these landmark chips.
