4.30.6 <4.10> Repeat 4.30.5, but now assume that the 4-issue processor has 50 pipeline stages. Assume that each of the original 5 stages is broken into 10 new stages, and that branches are executed in the first of ten new EX stages. What conclusion can you draw about the importance of good branch prediction when the pipeline depth of the processor is increased?
