A method for performing predecode-time optimized instructions in conjunction with predecode time optimized instruction sequence caching. The method includes receiving a first instruction of an instruction sequence and a second instruction of the instruction sequence and determining if the first instruction and the second instruction can be optimized. In response to the determining that the first instruction and second instruction can be optimized, the method includes, preforming a pre-decode optimization on the instruction sequence and generating a new second instruction, wherein the new second instruction is not dependent on a target operand of the first instruction and storing a pre-decoded first instruction and a pre-decoded new second instruction in an instruction cache. In response to determining that the first instruction and second instruction can not be optimized, the method includes, storing the pre-decoded first instruction and a pre-decoded second instruction in the instruction cache.
