为什么处理排序数组要比处理未排序数组快？

问题：

Here is a piece of C++ code that shows some very peculiar behavior. 这是一段C ++代码，显示了一些非常特殊的行为。 For some strange reason, sorting the data miraculously makes the code almost six times faster: 出于某些奇怪的原因，奇迹般地对数据进行排序使代码快了将近六倍：

#include <algorithm>
#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    // Generate data
    const unsigned arraySize = 32768;
    int data[arraySize];

    for (unsigned c = 0; c < arraySize; ++c)
        data[c] = std::rand() % 256;

    // !!! With this, the next loop runs faster.
    std::sort(data, data + arraySize);

    // Test
    clock_t start = clock();
    long long sum = 0;

    for (unsigned i = 0; i < 100000; ++i)
    {
        // Primary loop
        for (unsigned c = 0; c < arraySize; ++c)
        {
            if (data[c] >= 128)
                sum += data[c];
        }
    }

    double elapsedTime = static_cast<double>(clock() - start) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;

    std::cout << elapsedTime << std::endl;
    std::cout << "sum = " << sum << std::endl;
}

Without std::sort(data, data + arraySize); 没有std::sort(data, data + arraySize); , the code runs in 11.54 seconds. ，代码将在11.54秒内运行。
With the sorted data, the code runs in 1.93 seconds. 使用排序的数据，代码将在1.93秒内运行。

Initially, I thought this might be just a language or compiler anomaly, so I tried Java: 最初，我认为这可能只是语言或编译器异常，所以我尝试了Java：

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Random;

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Generate data
        int arraySize = 32768;
        int data[] = new int[arraySize];

        Random rnd = new Random(0);
        for (int c = 0; c < arraySize; ++c)
            data[c] = rnd.nextInt() % 256;

        // !!! With this, the next loop runs faster
        Arrays.sort(data);

        // Test
        long start = System.nanoTime();
        long sum = 0;

        for (int i = 0; i < 100000; ++i)
        {
            // Primary loop
            for (int c = 0; c < arraySize; ++c)
            {
                if (data[c] >= 128)
                    sum += data[c];
            }
        }

        System.out.println((System.nanoTime() - start) / 1000000000.0);
        System.out.println("sum = " + sum);
    }
}

With a similar but less extreme result. 具有相似但不太极端的结果。

My first thought was that sorting brings the data into the cache, but then I thought how silly that was because the array was just generated. 我首先想到的是排序将数据带入缓存，但是后来我想到这样做是多么愚蠢，因为刚刚生成了数组。
