Microarchitecture is the specific implementation of a computer processor's instruction set architecture, defining how components like the ALU, pipelines, caches, and control units are organized to execute instructions. Computer engineers and chip designers at companies like Intel, AMD, and ARM design microarchitectures to optimize for performance, power efficiency, and cost. It's a core discipline in computer engineering and semiconductor design.
