[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 74627, member: 8287"] It's called Pipes or Pipelines. In fact the new P4 Prescott core has 31 I believe and per clock gets less done than even the older Northwood P4 with 21 or so Pipes. AMD has always has very few pipes and is much faster than the GHZ would show. The Speed of getting stuff done is IPC, Instructions Per Clock. Because of the 31 or even 21 Stage Pipeline that Intel uses it gets less work done per clock cycle. The PPC is very low as is the AMD. The AMD Athlon is something like 12 pipes. [/QUOTE]
