How we call a pipeline with combinatoryl logic?

[AdvaRes]

Hi friends,
Please see the figure below. When there is no Combinatorial logic, we call that a Pipeline. How we call that with the combinatory logic.

Some guys calls that micropipeline. Is that really a micropipeline ?
Actually I dont find this name appropriate coz As far as I know micropipeline are utilizes a Handshake protocol howerver here the circuits is synchronous.

Re: How we call that ?

I still see it as "pipeline". Pipeline can have combinational logic en between registers.
The whole purpose of pipelining is to speed up the clock cycle.
