<strong>AMD</strong> <strong>64</strong>-<strong>Bit</strong> <strong>Technology</strong><br />

„ FXSAVE and FXRSTOR, indicated by bit 24 of CPUID<br />

standard function 1 and extended function 8000_0001h.<br />

„ SSE, indicated by bit 25 of CPUID standard function 1.<br />

„ SSE2, indicated by bit 26 of CPUID standard function 1.<br />

The 128-bit media instructions can be used in legacy mode or<br />

long mode. Their use in long mode is available if the following<br />

CPUID function is set:<br />

„ Long Mode, indicated by bit 29 of CPUID extended function<br />

8000_0001h.<br />

Compilation of 128-bit media programs for execution in <strong>64</strong>-bit<br />

mode offers four primary advantages: access to the eight<br />

extended XMM registers (for a register set consisting of<br />

XMM0–XMM15), access to the eight extended, <strong>64</strong>-bit generalpurpose<br />

registers (for a register set consisting of<br />

GPR0–GPR15), access to the <strong>64</strong>-bit virtual address space, and<br />

access to the RIP-relative addressing mode.<br />
