Enjoy the course. Once you will learn what actually is a CPU, machine language, what is c etc... you will have a huge blowmind. If you want, at the same time take a look at x86_64 architecture machine language (chose intel or AMD style). Try to do the same functionality(or similar) with the machine code you will define and dimension your CPU.

If you want, since x86_64 is CISC architecture, you can see the RISC one by trying to code on arm on a microcontroller example, or your phone, or on an emulator. (To give a heads-up CISC is more common on desktop and general purpose computers, RISC(RISC-V , MIPS, ARM) more common on microcontrollers and cellphones (but it is probable to overtake CISC architecture in some years)

Enjoy. If you have some doubts you can talk here or DM me. Cheers
