Technology related to adaptive temporal resource binding based on speculative pipeline interdependency is disclosed. In one example, a key is generated based on contents of a data item (such as a network packet received via a computer network). The key is used to determine whether another data item associated with the key is in a processing pipeline, of a plurality of processing pipelines. If another data item associated with the key is in one of the processing pipelines, then the data item is sent to that processing pipeline. If no other data item associated with the key is in any of the processing pipelines, the data item is sent based on available capacities of the processing pipelines. Subsequent data items associated with the same key are sent to the same pipeline so long as at least one data item associated with the key is still in the processing pipeline.
