An apparatus and method is described herein for providing instantaneous, efficient cache state recover upon an end of speculative execution. Speculatively accessed entries of a cache memory are marked as speculative, which may be on a thread specific basis. Upon an end of speculation, the speculatively marked entries are transitioned in parallel by a speculative port to their appropriate, thread specific, non-speculative coherency state; these parallel transitions allow for instantaneous commit or recovery of speculative memory state.
