Re: The product was plain vanilla .18 production process (Willamette demo)

If that's the case, it was an impressive part. I'm not sure a 20 stage pipe is such a great idea, but I'll leave that discussion to those who know more about it. (I thought that pipeline optimal length was generally considered to be around 10). Can simple instructions like inc be retired in fewer clocks? Is 20 clocks really the exception rather than the rule?
