		hedora 7 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: %CPU utilization is a lie That patent seems to be describing a dumb way to implement pipelining / speculative execution. Am I missing something? Anyway, by my reading, it’s also similar to the Itanic, er, Itanium, where the “cores” that got combined were pipeline stages.

I did not read the patent (do not read patents as a matter of policy.) Was simply responding to the second paragraph that kind of reminded me of FX Bulldozer chips.
