\* This is self research from wikipedia

The Princeton architecture (aka. von Neumann architecture) is a CPU design that notably combine instruction and data memory into a single memory (unlike its counterpart, Harvard architecture).

Advantages

  • Due to a unified memory, Princeton architecture is simpler
  • Simpler is cheaper
  • Because instruction and data cannot be accessed at the same time, Princeton is slower.
