- The FISTTP instruction. See “Improved x87 FP-to-Integer Conversion Instruction” on page 1099.
Complex arithmetic instructions:
- The ADDSUBPS, ADDSUBPD, MOVSLDUP, MOVSHDUP, and MOVDDUP instructions. See “New Complex Arithmetic Instructions” on page 1100.
One new video encoding instruction:
- The LDDQU instruction. See “Improved Motion Estimation Performance” on page 1101.
Graphics-oriented instructions:
- The HADDPS, HSUBPS, HADDPD, and HSUBPD instructions. See “Instructions ...
