x86

  • AVX (Advanced Vector eXtensions) -- to be introduced on Intel's Sandy Bridge (2010) and AMD's Bulldozer (2011), and implemented within the VEX coding scheme

SSE3

  • movddup -- move a double from a 8-byte-aligned memory location or lower half of XMM register to upper half, then duplicate upper half to lower half

SSE2

  • movapd -- move two packed doubles from a 16-byte-aligned memory location to XMM registers, or vice versa, or between two XMM registers.
    • movupd -- movapd safe for unaligned memory references, with far inferior performance.
  • mulpd -- the multiplier is a 16-byte-aligned memory location or XMM register. the target XMM register serves as the multiplicand.

SSE

  • movaps -- move four packed singles from a 16-byte-aligned memory location to XMM registers, or vice versa, or between two XMM registers.
    • movups -- movaps safe for unaligned memory references, with far inferior performance.
