Generally speaking, a deeper pipe produces more MIPS, though it appears that Intel may have deepened the pipe past optimal on Willy (28 stages.)

Where did you here 28 stages? I thought it was 20. Also you said in another post that the double pumped ALU was a big mistake because it prevents higher frequencies. Wasn't the double pumped ALU needed to prevent pipeline stalls?
