The RISC core of every x86 since PPro is a load/store machine.
- eru 4y agoThose instructions still aren't exposed to the user, are they?
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoDoesn't matter. The core doesn't see the x86 instructions either. MOVs are decoded into simpler operations to facilitate reordering.
- amluto 4y agoGood luck decoding LOCK CMPXCHG to loads and stores. In any case, my actual objection was to “LOAD instruction in x86”. It makes no sense.
