Is the explanation of relaxed ordering erroneous in cppreference?

Question

In the documentation of std::memory_order on cppreference.com there is an example of relaxed ordering:

Answer 1

If there are two statements, the compiler will generate code in sequential order so code for the first one will be placed prior to the second one. But cpus internally have pipelines and are able to run assembly operations in parallel. Statement C is a load instruction. While memory is being fetched the pipeline will process the next few instructions and given they are not dependent on the load instruction they could end up being executed prior to C being finished (e.g. data for D was in cache, C in main memory).

If the user really needed the two statements to be executed sequentially, stricter memory ordering operations can be used. In general users don't care as long as the program is logically correct.
