I think this is a good overview for most people, this is probably what they want.

For me personally I was surprised given the name that very little is about cpus and most of the material is in the operating system.

No problem really, I think most people want to bootstrap quickly from the low level into the higher abstractions that they care about, few people want to stay down in the cpu itself.
