M Processor Microarchitecture

Like the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture, the pipeline of the Intel
Pentium M processor microarchitecture contains three sections:

in-order issue front end

out-of-order superscalar execution core

in-order retirement unit

Intel Pentium M processor microarchitecture supports a high-speed
system bus (up to 533 MHz) with 64-byte line size. Most coding
recommendations that apply to the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture also
apply to the Intel Pentium M processor.
