Apparatuses and related systems and methods for determining cache hit/miss of aliased addresses in virtually-tagged cache(s) are disclosed. In one embodiment, virtual aliasing cache hit/miss detector for a VIVT cache is provided. The detector comprises a TLB configured to receive a first virtual address and a second virtual address from the VIVT cache resulting from an indexed read into the VIVT cache based on the first virtual address. The TLB is further configured to generate first and second physical addresses translated from the first and second virtual addresses, respectively, The detector further comprises a comparator configured to receive the first and second physical addresses and effectuate a generation of an aliased cache hit/miss indicator based on a comparison of the first and second physical addresses. In this manner, the virtual aliasing cache hit/miss detector correctly generates cache hits and cache misses, even in the presence of aliased addressing.
