Can 'mov' instructions, which do not require any offset/displacement added to it, be executed without any assistance of ALU?

I've recently started exploring the field of computer architecture. While studying the instruction set architecture, I came across 'mov' instruction which copies data from one location to another. I understand that some type of mov' instructions are conditional while some need to have offset or displacement added to it to find a particular address, and hence they need ALU assistance. For e.g. Base-开发者_如何学编程plus-index, Register relative, Base relative-plus-index, Scaled index etc.

I was wondering, if it is possible to bypass ALU for those mov' instructions (for e.g. register to register data transfer) who do not require any ALU assistance.

Yes. Obviously, an instruction that doesn't require any arithmetic to be performed doesn't require the assistance of the ALU.

Obviously, though, it still requires the "intervention of microprocessor"; the registers, program counter, instruction fetch/decode/execute pipeline are all part of the CPU.
