Media data-processing
Table 14-6 shows media data-processing instructions and gives their cycle timing behavior.
All media data-processing instructions are single-cycle issue instructions. These instructions
have result latencies of one or two cycles. Some of the instructions require an input register to
be shifted, or manipulated in some other way before use and therefore are marked as requiring
an Early Reg.
