score-boarding to me represents an in-between, because:
1. they stall on the first RAW conflict.
2. they initiate execution in-order, although they may complete execution out-of-order.
I wish there was better nomenclature so people don't get confused, because clearly it doesn't fit into the dichotomy of in-order vs. out-of-order execution.
