Intel "Pipeline" vs. AMD "Wipeout!"--Let's go surfing now

"Let's give credit where credit is due. Who at Intel was responsible for designing the P4 to scale so well?
IMHO, that dude or dudette is one of the few that deserves a bonus. Very few get inducted into the Mhz sells (TM McM) hall of fame but whomever that was deserves it."

The speed scaling advantages of "long pipelines made up of simpler microinstructions" were discussed years ago.

The Droids said "Like, no way!"

Now we are seeing the outcome.

And the only long pipeline coming out of Sunnyvale is the sewer pipe.
