A method for reducing power consumption within a processor, having branch prediction circuitry, requires detecting the occurrence of a trigger event and then suppressing speculative execution of an instruction within the processor in response to the detection of the trigger event. The trigger event is the transcendence of a predetermined thermal threshold by the operating temperature of the processor.
