# Risc V VHDL 5 Stages Pipeline ![image (3)](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/323dff06-e9e8-466a-80a0-488c203bee9c) **Key Improvements in Develop Branch:** - Better understanding of VHDL allowed for a more efficient design. - The removal of redundant pipeline stage components streamlined the microprocessor, reducing bottlenecks and increasing operational frequency. 1. **Main Branch:** - Frequency: 68.19 MHz - Design philosophy: - Relied on components for pipeline stages. - These components added complexity and increased the number of logical gates required, leading to slower processing. 2. **Develop Branch:** - Frequency: 168.55 MHz - Design philosophy: - Simplified architecture by eliminating unnecessary pipeline stage components. - Optimized signal paths and reduced the number of logical gate transitions, leading to higher efficiency and speed.
