Not way above, but yes. We use simultaneous multi threading and out of order execution to enable superscalar execution I.e >1 instruction per cycle. But it’s not likely to be more than 2-3 for a variety of reasons.
- monocasa 9y agoJust adding that you can be superscalar, while not being out of order or multithreaded. The Xbox 360's cores fit that model, as well as the original Pentium. They'll execute multiple instructions, but will serialize if there are dependencies (or other constraints that are uarch specific).
