Data is fetched 64 bytes at a time; the instruction and data translation
lookaside buffers support 128 entries. See Table 1-3 for processor cache
parameters.

Out-of-Order Core

The processor core dynamically executes µops independent of program
order. The core is designed to facilitate parallel execution by employing
many buffers, issue ports, and parallel execution units.

The out-of-order core buffers µops in a Reservation Station (RS) until
their operands are ready and resources are available. Each cycle, the
core may dispatch up to five µops through the issue ports.
