In one embodiment, a microprocessor is provided. The microprocessor includes a cache that is controlled by a cache controller. The cache controller is configured to replace cachelines in the cache based on a replacement scheme that prioritizes the replacement of cachelines that are less likely to cause roll back of a transaction of the microprocessor.
