Description
{{Infobox CPU architecture
| name = Name of architecture, e.g. x86, SPARC, PowerPC, MIPS, ARM
| designer = Designer of the architecture
| bits = Width of accumulator/general registers/stack top, e.g. 32-bit, 64-bit
| introduced = Year introduced
| version = Version/revision of architecture/ISA
| design = Design strategy, e.g. RISC, CISC
| type = Type of architecture, e.g. Register-Register, Register-Memory, Memory-Memory
| encoding = Instruction set encoding, e.g. Fixed or Variable
| branching = Branching evaluation, e.g. Condition register, Condition code, Compare and branch
| endianness = Byte ordering, i.e. Little, Big, Bi
| page size = Primary size of page, i.e. 4 KiB, 2 MiB, 1 GiB; does not include "huge pages" and other extensions
| extensions = ISA extensions, i.e. MMX, SSE, AltiVec, etc
| predecessor = Earlier architecture(s) this one is based on, if it has a separate page
| successor = Later architecture(s) based primarily on this one, if it has a separate page
| open = Is the architecture open or not? (as in free or proprietary)
| registers = Number and size of processor registers
| gpr = Number of general-purpose registers (and size, if not indicated by bits=)
| fpr = Number of floating-point registers (and size, if not indicated by bits=)
| vpr = Number of vector registers (and size, if not indicated by bits=)
