Sceadwian said:That's my biggest gripe with PIC's and why I love the AVR architecture so much. AVR's run at the clock speed, no divider. The instruction pipeline is paralleled, which means it can be 4 times faster for a given clock rate.

Don't most processors do that anyway?, I'm pretty sure the PIC does?, and the ancient 6502 certainly did.
However, pre-fetching the next instruction doesn't mean the processor runs at the external clock speed, processors which don't do it tend to require a MUCH faster external clock than those that did (such as Z80 vs 6502).
