A memory cache (14) has a plurality of cache lines (50) for storing a series of contiguous memory elements. Each series of memory elements are interlaced within the corresponding cache line on a element-by-element basis and on a bit-by-bit basis. This storage strategy allows the memory cache to output a subset memory elements within a cache line quickly and in the original contiguous order. The invention may be advantageously incorporated in an instruction cache of superscalar data processor to provide a series of sequential instructions for execution.
