Is there any advantage of usingbranch predictor in a pipleline. explain with example.

Yes, there are advantages of using branch predictor in a pipeline.

Explanation:

Yes, there is advantage of using branch predictor in pipelining. T know this, lets first understand the Branching. Branches are the places in the instructions where multiple paths can be possible and one of the path (in branch) will be followed. This can be understood as conditional executions like If - Else conditions, Switch cases etc. Without branch prediction, the processor becomes slow, processing less number of instructions and taking more clock cycles. The processor has to stall without executing any instructions and wasting lot of clock cycles.  Without branch predictor the instructions that have to be next executed doesn't know. Branch prediction increases Instruction Level Parallelism. Examples are If - Else Conditions and Switch cases.

what? ? i don't get it
