Abstract
A data prefetching method and a terminal device are provided. The CPU core cluster is configured to deliver a data access request to a first cache of the at least one level of cache, where the data access request carries a first address, and the first address is an address of data that the CPU core cluster currently needs to access in the memory. The prefetcher in the terminal device provided in embodiments of this application may generate a prefetch-from address, and load data corresponding to the generated prefetch-from address to the first cache. When needing to access the data, the CPU core cluster can read from the first cache, without a need to read from the memory. This helps increase an operating rate of the CPU core cluster.
