X86 Architecture X86 Architecture The CPU is a very small, and complex circuit board, composed of transistors, resistors, metal oxides, which have been layered onto silicon wafers. The speed or the frequency of the CPU is measured in Megahertz (MHz), or Gigahertz (GHz). One megahertz equals to one million clocks or oscillations per second. A CPU can only process data in clock-intervals,
