1. A method for predicting a data value that will result from a load operation to be executed by a microprocessor, the method comprising: accessing an entry in a load value prediction table that stores a predicted data value corresponding to the load operation; providing the predicted data value as a result of the load operation without waiting for execution of the load operation to complete a confidence parameter stored in the entry exceeds a current value of a dynamic confidence threshold; adjusting the confidence parameter based on a first pre-determined criterion, wherein the first pre-determined criterion comprises an actual data value from executing the load operation to the predicted data value; determining a new value of the dynamic confidence threshold based on a second pre-determined criterion, wherein the second pre-determined criterion comprises calculating a prediction parameter representing statistical accuracy of predicting the data value; accessing another entry in the load value prediction table that stores another predicted data value corresponding to another load operation, wherein the load value prediction table is accessed, at least in part, from recent branch history prior to an instruction that triggers the load operation; providing said another predicted data value as a result of said another load operation without waiting for execution of said another load operation to complete another confidence parameter stored in said another entry compared to exceeds the new value of the dynamic confidence threshold; and wherein the new value is determined to adjust the dynamic confidence by an amount proportional to a difference between the confidence parameter and the dynamic confidence threshold.
