Question: For a pipeline with ‘n’ stages, what’s the ideal throughput? What prevents us from achieving this ideal throughput?

Answer: With "n" stage pipeline the throughput should be "n" instructions.
As the pipe stages can't be perfectly balanced ( time to perform task in a pipeline stage), furthermore pipeline does involve some
overheads.
