"One way that Pentium Netburst kept high clock rates was by having a
ridiculously huge pipeline, 2-4x larger than the first generation of Core 2
parts which replaced it; unfortunately the Pentium 4 branch prediction was
terrible keeping the processor stuck needing to dump its pipeline perpetually."

hey it's good that like, y'know... we're doing this processor with so many
historical mistakes to learn from...
