Theres VLIW/'preprediction'/some other technical name I forget for infrastructures which instead ask you to explicitly schedule instruction/data/branch prediction. If I remember, the two biggest examples I can think of were IA64 and Alpha. I wanna think HP-PA did the same but I'm not clear on that one.

For various reasons, all these infras eventually lost out in the market due to market pressure (and cost/watt/IPC, I guess).
