Summary:In one embodiment, a processor includes a fetch logic to fetch instructions, a decode logic to decode the instructions, and an execution logic to execute at least some of the instructions. The decode logic may identify a first instruction having a first immediate value, accumulate the first immediate value with a folded immediate value associated with a first operand of the first instruction, and prevent the first instruction from provision to the execution logic, such that the first instruction is not to be executed within the execution logic. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
