MOVNTDQ Move Non-Temporal Double Quadword<br />

Stores a <strong>128</strong>-bit (double quadword) XMM register value into a <strong>128</strong>-bit memory<br />

location. This instruction indicates to the processor that the data is non-temporal, and<br />

is unlikely to be used again soon. The processor treats the store as a write-combining<br />

(WC) memory write, which minimizes cache pollution. The exact method by which<br />

cache pollution is minimized depends on the hardware implementation of the<br />

instruction. For further information, see “Memory Optimization” in <strong>Volume</strong> 1.<br />

MOVNTDQ is weakly-ordered with respect to other instructions that operate on<br />

memory. Software should use an SFENCE instruction to force strong memory ordering<br />

of MOVNTDQ with respect to other stores.<br />
