I strongly prefer Computer Organization and Design over their Computer Architecture book. I had to read both while at Berkeley. I've considered picking up the new RISC-V edition of the former but I can't justify spending that kind of money when RISC-V is so similar to MIPS. Could be a fun bit of history if RISC-V ever takes over :-)

I read these two as well. Computer Organization and Design and Computer Architecture on my 2nd and 3rd-level computer architecture courses respectively. Glad to hear Hennessy and Patterson getting the Touring award, always had a good hunch about Computer Architecture despite not knowing as much back then.
