Unfortunately, even with the 180 nm process, the K6 architecture's short 6-stage pipeline was stretched to the limit with regards to clock speed ramping.

And the gigantic explosion blasted into the short pipeline, incinerated an entire forty-car train, and knocked down the station.

On Sunday, British soldiers completed a short pipeline from a Kuwaiti water main to a pumping station a few hundred feet inside Iraq.

The front end has a short pipeline, resulting in a small three-cycle branch misprediction penalty.

Ottawa compromised with a shorter pipeline, one just for oil.

Eight wells each occupy a 2,000-square-foot clearing, and short pipelines lead to storage tanks, where oil and gas are trucked out.

For two CPUs with the same clockspeed, a shorter pipeline has an advantage because it stays full more often.

The core R2000 chip executed all non-floating-point instructions with a simple short pipeline.

ARM11 is a single-issue, in-order design with a short, 8-stage pipeline.

Of course, a shorter pipeline isn't the only reason the Core i5's pipeline finds itself full more often than the Pentium 4's.
