A microprocessor includes: a processor core that performs pipeline processing; an instruction analyzing section that analyzes an instruction to be processed by the processor core and outputs analysis information indicating whether the instruction matches with a specific instruction; and a memory that temporary stores the instruction with the analysis information, wherein the processor core includes: an instruction fetch unit that fetches the instruction stored in the memory; an instruction decode unit that decodes the instruction fetched by the instruction fetch unit; an instruction execute unit that executes the instruction decoded by the instruction decode unit; and a specific instruction execute controller that reads out the analysis information stored in the memory and controls operation of at least one of the instruction fetch unit and the instruction decode unit when the analysis instruction indicates that the instruction matches with the specific instruction.
