The present disclosure describes a system and method for high performance, power efficient store buffer forwarding. Some illustrative embodiments may include a system, comprising: a processor coupled to an address bus; a cache memory that couples to the address bus and comprises cache data (the cache memory divided into a plurality of ways); and a store buffer that couples to the address bus, and comprises store buffer data, a store buffer way and a store buffer index. The processor selects the store buffer data for use by a data load operation if a selected way of the plurality of ways matches the store buffer way, and if at least part of the bus address matches the store buffer index.
