Editing WinChip (section)

===Design===
The design of the WinChip was quite different from other processors of the time. Instead of a large [[gate count]] and [[die (integrated circuit)|die]] area, IDT, using its experience from the [[RISC]] processor market, created a small and electrically efficient processor similar to the [[Intel 80486|80486]], because of its single [[Pipeline (computing)|pipeline]] and [[Out of Order execution#In-order processors|in-order execution]] [[microarchitecture]]. It was of much simpler design than its Socket 7 competitors, such as [[AMD K5]]/[[AMD K6|K6]], which were [[superscalar]] and based on dynamic translation to buffered [[micro-operation]]s with advanced instruction reordering ([[Out of Order execution|out of order execution]]).
