I'm studying for an exam on Advanced Computer Architecture and in an exam question the question above is asked.

I know that branch prediction is crucial in superscalar processors in order to exploit ILP as much as possible, but I was wondering what could be the precise reason why superscalar processors use dynamic branch prediction instead of static one.

Update: 

Hi again, as the two comments below suggested, I tried to think about it and thought that in case of a misprediction a processor using branch predictor has to flush the pipeline from the incorrect instructions issued because of the prediction.

So, for a superscalar processor issuing multiple instructions at the same time, the penalty would be much higher, but I'm still not sure this is the real point...

Any other help?
