A system and method for predicting the outcome of a conditional branch within a computer system, the method comprising the steps of identifying ( 105 ) the occurrence of a conditional branch, obtaining ( 106 ) data relating to system activity since a previous branch, comparing ( 110 ) said data with data relating to previous system activity, and predicting ( 108 ) the branch outcome based on such comparison. An activity monitor (FIGS. 3 - 20 ) may be used to provide the data relating to system activity.
