A method of optimizing speculative address load processing by a microprocessor includes identifying a speculative load, marking the speculative load, determining whether a miss occurs for the speculative load, and preventing use of the marked speculative load by the microprocessor if a miss occurs. A method of optimizing speculative address load processing by a microprocessor includes identifying a speculative load, marking the speculative load, inserting the marked speculative load into a load miss queue, determining whether a miss occurs for the speculative load, and preventing the load miss queue from committing the marked speculative load to cache if a miss occurs.
