1. A method of executing a single conditional instruction via a pipelined processor, the method comprising: receiving a prior value produced by an instruction distinct from the single conditional instruction; evaluating a condition associated with the single conditional instruction to produce an evaluation outcome; and outputting a value of the single conditional instruction to a target irrespective of the evaluation outcome, wherein the value is: a result of performing an operation of the single conditional instruction on one or more operand values when the condition is satisfied; and the prior value when the condition is not satisfied.
