AMD pipelines

[breakonthrough]

I am writing a paper on processor pipelines and I am struggling to find information on AMD pipelines specifically I need stuff on the Athlon XP. Does anyone know what each stage of their pipeline is? (eg. the first stage is obviously fetch, then etc.) Any links would be great too!!

Thanks

I believe the first part is relative to your question.

But thats just a layman's explanation, for serious information, search on google.

Eh you're a braver man than me...I tried learning that stuff a while ago and I got headache after headache...anyways if you are interested in AMD64 architecture this was the source I was always referencing
