Comment on So why is 3 nm chip better?
ozymandias117@lemmy.world 9 months agoThis is also why we use speculative execution and various length pipelines per core for single threaded execution
A long pipeline creates big delays when an instruction wasn’t the correct one, but on average it saves time

Yeah 😂
I was specifically thinking about pentium 4 when I said long pipelines aren’t always better 😂
Speculative execution has wound up having security implications as well
