Summary: Only for the serious student
Comment: To address some of the cocerns others have raised, let me start by saying this is absolutely *the* reference book used in all of Computer Science and Computer Engineering. This is the book they use to teach the very basic and the most advanced classes. So bear that in mind.
If you are not a serious student, this book will be difficult to work through. If you are lazy and unwilling to really sit down and think about the material here, you won't be able to comprehend it well enough to solve the problems.
But, if you have a desire to learn this material and approach it with an open mind, you'll be delighted with the content. I wish it went more in-depth into modern processor design issues, but it lays the groundwork for understanding not only where we have all come from, but leads to where we're going, and why.
No other single book covers such a huge and complex topic so clearly and simply. But if you're unwilling to work at it, be prepared to hate the book.
This book walks you through the evolution of the computer architecture, touching on all the core concepts: basic operation in an ALU, cache systems, memory management, branch prediction, multiprocessor interconnects, specific processor designs, pipelining, and so much more. There's no better book to put on your desk.

Summary: Not for introduction, this is an advanced book !
Comment: The complaints of one of the reviewer are perfectly justified in the sense that using this book as your first one in "computer architecture" will probably make you leave the subject very soon. This is an advanced book discussing the problems of computer architecture but with the "instruction set" point of view. The intent of this book is not to teach you basics in computer architecture!
For introductory textbooks, rather go to the other one from Hennessy and Patterson "Computer organization and design : The hardware/software interface" or Tanenbaum's "Structured Computer Organization".
However, with considerations about the scope of the book, it is excellent even if not easy. I don't think there something better on the market in the subject.
