Q33

Consider a $3 \ \text{GHz}$ (gigahertz) processor with a three stage pipeline and stage latencies $\large\tau_1,\tau_2$ and $\large\tau_3$ such that $\large\tau_1 =\dfrac{3 \tau_2}{4}=2\tau_3$. If the longest pipeline stage is split into two pipeline stages of equal latency , the new frequency is __________ $\text{GHz}$, ignoring delays in the pipeline registers.
