帕特森、亨尼斯所著的《電腦組成與設計(硬體軟體介面MIPS版英文版第5版亞洲版)》這本最暢銷的電腦組成與設計的經典教材經過全面修訂，關注后PCB寸代發生在電腦體系結構領域的革命性變革(從單處理器發展到多核微處理器。從串列發展到並行)，並強調了新出現的移動計算和雲計算。為了研討和強調這種重大的變化，《電腦組成與設計(硬體軟體介面MIPS版英文版第5版亞洲版)》更新了許多內容，重點介紹平板電腦、雲體系結構以及ARM(移動計算設備)和x86(雲計算)體系結構。
因為正確理解現代硬體對於實現好的性能和能效至關重要，所以本版在全書中增加了一個新的實例「Going Faster」，以演示非常有效的優化技術。本版還新增了一個關於電腦體系結構「八大理念」的討論。
與前幾版一樣，本書採用MIPS處理器來展示電腦硬體技術、彙編語言、電腦算術、流水線、存儲器層次結構以及I／O等基本功能。
