					 The stage delays in a 4-stage pipeline are 800, 500, 400 and 300 picoseconds. The first stage (with delay 800 picoseconds) is replaced with a functionally equivalent design involving two stages with respective delays 600 and 350 picoseconds. The throughput increase of the pipeline is __________ percent.

- 11.67
 - 12.33
 - 33.33
 - None of the above
 
 
Correct Option: C
Old design tp = 800
New design tp = 600
| Throughput = | × 100% = 33.33% | |
| 600 |
