Question

Why a super pipeline processor performs less effectively than a super scalar processor?

Answer 1

Answer:

Superscalar attempts to increase performance by executing multiple instructions in parallel. ... Summarizing in a few words: Super-pipelining seeks to improve the sequential instruction rate, while superscalar seeks to improve the parallel instruction rate. Most modern processors are both superscalar and super-pipelined.

Answer 2

In a pipelined processor, a pipeline has two ends, the input end and the output end. Between these ends, there are multiple stages/segments such that output of one stage is connected to input of next stage and each stage performs a specific operation.
