An unpipelined processor has got the cycle time of 15 ns. Now the processor is pipelined into three stages and 15 ns is divided among three stages as
Stage 1: 6 ns
Stage 2: 5 ns
Stage 3: 4 ns
The latch latency is 2 ns. Now the cycle time of new processor will be _______________ ns (integer value only).
I think cycle time should be 6 ns.
Latch latency should not be added in cycle time.
