<i>Both Loongson-3A2000 and 3B2000 are 4-way superscalar processors built on a 9-stage, super-pipelined architecture with in-order execution units, two floating-point units, a memory management unit, and an innovative crossbar interconnect.</i><p>Wow, that&#x27;s pretty wide for an in order processor that isn&#x27;t VLIW.<p>EDIT:  All the other references to the Godson&#x2F;Loongson 3 series I can find say that it&#x27;s out of order in general - at least those articles that didn&#x27;t repeat that phrase verbatim (I sense a press release).  And you can see the reorder queue in the diagram.  Unless they&#x27;re doing something like the Atom did where the ALUs are in order but the AGUs are out of order, but then why have register renaming?<p>I found some details here[1] making it very clear this is out of order and what happens at each pipeline stage and some (pretty bad) benchmark results here[2].<p>[1]<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.7-cpu.com&#x2F;cpu&#x2F;Loongson.html#Loongson3A" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.7-cpu.com&#x2F;cpu&#x2F;Loongson.html#Loongson3A</a><p>[2]<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.7-cpu.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.7-cpu.com&#x2F;</a>
