Apple M1 Microarchitecture Research
Dougall Johnson (via Hacker News):
This is an early attempt at microarchitecture documentation for the CPU in the Apple M1, inspired by and building on the amazing work of Andreas Abel, Andrei Frumusanu, @Veedrac, Travis Downs, Henry Wong and Agner Fog. This documentation is my best effort, but it is based on black-box reverse engineering, and there are definitely mistakes.

These numbers mostly come from the M1 buffer size measuring tool. The M1 seems to use something along the lines of a validation buffer, rather than a conventional reorder buffer, which complicates measurements a bit. So these may or may not be accurate.
