Apparatus and methods relating to store operations are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first storage unit is to store data. A second storage unit is to store the data only after it has become detectable by a bus agent. Moreover, the second storage unit may store an index field for each data value to be stored within the second storage unit. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Store performance in strongly ordered microprocessor architecture

A store operation architecture in which store operation latency and read-for-ownership (RFO) throughput are improved. Embodiments of the invention relate to a method and apparatus to improve store performance in a microprocessor by allowing out-of-order issuance of RFO operations and more efficiently using the store buffer latency periods.
