Instruction Set 33234H
8.4 MMX™, FPU, and AMD 3DNow!™ Technology Instructions Sets
The CPU is functionally divided into the Floating Point Unit (FPU) unit and the Integer Unit. The FPU has been extended to
process MMX, AMD 3DNow!, and floating point instructions in parallel with the Integer Unit.
When the Integer Unit detects an MMX instruction, the instruction is passed to the FPU or execution. The Integer Unit con-
tinues to execute instructions while the FPU executes the MMX instruction. If another MMX instruction is encountered, the
second MMX instruction is placed in the MMX queue. Up to six MMX instructions can be queued.
When the Integer Unit detects a floating point instruction without memory operands, after two clock cycles the instruction
passes to the FPU for execution. The Integer Unit continues to execute instructions while the FPU executes the floating
point instruction. If another FPU instruction is encountered, the second FPU instruction is placed in the FPU queue. Up to
four FPU instructions can be queued. In the event of an FPU exception, while other FPU instructions are queued, the state
of the CPU is saved to ensure recovery.
The MMX instruction set (including extensions) is summarized in Table 8-28. The FPU instruction set is summarized in
Table 8-29. The AMD 3DNow! instruction set (including extensions) is summarized in Table 8-30. The abbreviations used in
the instruction sets are listed in Table 8-27.
Note: The following opcodes are reserved: D9D7, D9E2, D9E7, DDFC, DED8, DEDA, DEDC, DEDD, DEDE, and DFFC.
If a reserved opcode is executed, unpredictable results may occur (exceptions are not generated).
