ABSTRACT:
A microprocessor for enhancing the initiation of data processing after execution of a conditional branch instruction, by decoding a branch target instruction immediately when a branch is taken. An instruction prefetch cycle for a branch target instruction is initiated before the execution of a conditional branch is completed and by utilizing the branch address the byte data to be outputted from a branch buffer is selected and transferred to the instruction decoder.
