B.2.1.2. Intel® 80200 Processor Pipeline Organization
The Intel® 80200 processor single-issue superpipeline consists of a main execution pipeline, MAC
pipeline, and a memory access pipeline. These are shown in FigureB-1, with the main execution
pipeline shaded.
Table B -1 gives a brief description of each pipe-stage.
