P6 Dynamic Execution Micro-architecture |
 |
 |

Includes multiple branch prediction, data flow analysis, and speculative execution. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Multiple branch prediction |
 |
 |
Predicts program execution through multiple branches, accelerating the flow of work to the processor |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Data flow analysis |
 |
 |
Creates an optimized, reordered schedule of instructions by analyzing data dependencies between instructions |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Speculative execution |
 |
 |
Carries out instruction execution speculatively, ensuring superscalar execution units remain busy, boosting overall performance |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Dual Independent Bus (DIB) |
 |
 |
Frees system bus from cache traffic, providing higher overall system bandwidth, improved system performance and scalability |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Non-Blocking Level 1 Cache |
 |
 |
Fast access to the recently used data, increasing the overall performance of the system |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
256 KB Level 2 Advanced Transfer Cache (some versions) |
 |
 |
Higher data bandwidth interface between the level 2 cache and the processor core reduces latency interface to cache data |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Non-Blocking Level 2 Cache (some versions) |
 |
 |
Improves performance over cache-on-motherboard solutions with dedicated 64-bit cache bus. Also reduces the average memory access time by providing fast access to recently used instructions and data |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Advanced System Buffering (some versions) |
 |
 |
Increases utilization of the available bandwidth on the 100 and 133 MHz system bus |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Internet Streaming SIMD Extensions |
 |
 |
Higher resolution images viewed and manipulated, high quality audio, MPEG2 video, and simultaneous MPEG2 encoding and decoding, reduced CPU utilization for speech recognition, as well as higher accuracy and faster response times |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Up to 133 MHz System Bus |
 |
 |
Increases bandwidth availability; enables low-cost, two-way symmetric multiprocessing, providing performance boost for multi-tasking operating systems and multi-threaded applications |
