is a longer CPU Pipeline better?

by harvardd . Updated 24 years, 3 months ago

I understand that the classic Pentium chips have two pipelines. Each Pipeline has fives stages of executions.

What are the benefits of a 10 stage pipelines and 20 stage pipelines in the Pentium 4 chip? Can you explain what is a 20 stage pipeline?

Are there any references on 20 stage pipelines?
