4.9
Instruction Formats
The nature of the Intel SSE architecture allows the use of existing instruction formats.
Instructions use the ModR/M format and are preceded by the 0F prefix byte. In general,
operations are not duplicated to provide two directions (i.e. separate load and store
variants).
4.10
Instruction Prefixes
The SSE instructions use prefixes as specified in
, and
The effect of multiple prefixes (more than one prefix from a group) is unpredictable and
may vary from processor to processor.
Applying a prefix, in a manner not defined in this document, is considered reserved
behavior. For example,
shows general behavior for most SSE instructions;
however, the application of a prefix (Repeat, Repeat NE, Operand Size) is reserved for
the following instructions:
ANDPS, ANDNPS, COMISS, FXRSTOR, FXSAVE, ORPS, LDMXCSR, MOVAPS, MOVHPS,
MOVLPS, MOVMSKPS, MOVNTPS, MOVUPS, SHUFPS, STMXCSR, UCOMISS, UNPCKHPS,
UNPCKLPS, XORPS.

Ignored by SSE instructions without memory operand.
Operand Size (66H)
Reserved and may result in unpredictable behavior.
Segment Override

Repeat Prefix (F3H)
Affects SSE instructions
Repeat NE Prefix(F2H)
Reserved and may result in unpredictable behavior.
Lock Prefix (0F0H)
Generates invalid opcode exception.
