Sorry, but you would have to be a lot more specific. CPU's are some of the most complex things out there. What are you looking to learn about?

Thank you Thunder 57 for your response..

look up the wiki pages for

CPU
x86 (desktop/laptop)
Reduced instruction set computer (smartphones/apple)

That will give you a good overview.
At the end of each article there are reference links as well as further reading links
