Perhaps I've been living under a rock for the past 30 years, but transient instructions are a new idea for me

  What's the "old" term for speculated instructions that aren't retired?

    I've never heard of a term for them but I would find "speculated instructions" clear enough in context.

      "Speculated instructions" is ambiguous, because it includes instructions that are retired, and we specifically care about the ones that aren't.
