Petz, <your post about P4's pipeline being more than 2X P3's implies that the P4 pipeline length is LONGER than 24-28 stages. Is that true?>

I don't know exactly how long the pipeline is, but I think the 20-stage figure starts from the execution trace cache. So you can imagine what happens when there is an I-cache miss, maybe even a branch mispredict.
