Hi,
Architecture specification can mean different things depending on the items in reference.
For example, architecture specification for chip designs could refer to to the interconnect of the logic gates that makes up certain Intellectual Property (IP) or Input Output (IO) blocks. While on the other hand, architecture specification for software tools could refer to the different basic software building blocks that make-up the tool's specific features and functionalities. So to answer your question, it is generally describing the low-level designs but can also be written in a high-level functional block diagrams to ease the understanding of the reader.
It can be written for systems under development OR post-development. It can be written for internal consumption or for customer consumption (if appropriate).
May I understand what you are trying to do here? Are you currently using any of Intel's product or tools?
