Comment on Ask HN: How to turn off x86 Pipelining

Comments

  as hypothetical product owner
  given i heard about the benefits of minimising WIP to improve cashflow in manufacturing processes
  and given i believe what is best in context A is also best in unrelated context B provided similar words are used
  when i heard that our production CPUs use pipelining, which is a form of WIP instructions for the processor
  then i wanted to disable it
  so that we can unlock the cash trapped in our production server CPU instruction pipelines
