<p class=MsoNormal>Normal instructions don’t perform the first step. For
example, NOP performs the rest of the steps (step 2 to step 4). Actually all
that NOP does is these prefetch steps plus incrementing the PC. All the
instructions, disregarding how complex they are, perform the same prefetch
processing (steps 2 to 4) towards the end of their execution. </p>
