Peter Anvin ha scritto: > MOVAPS, MOVAPD, and MOVDQA are the same operation. They may, architecturally, have different performance characteristics, but nothing that would affect an emulator. In fact MOVAPS and MOVAPD are implemented the same way in this patch: I(Aligned, em_mov), I(Aligned, em_mov), N, N, These are respectively for no prefix, 0x66, 0xf2 and 0xf3. MOVDQA was already implemented, but on AMD some memcpy implementations use MOVAPS because it's a byte shorter.
