Notes:
1. Static timing assumes a predicted branch.
2. Store operation also updates ESP—the new register value is available one clock earlier than the specified
latency.
3. The clock count, regardless of the number of shifts or rotates, as determined by CL or imm8.
4. LEA instructions have a latency of 1 when there are two source operands (as in the case of the base + index
form LEA EAX, [EDX+EDI]). Forms with a scale or more than two source operands will have a latency of 2 (LEA
EAX, [EBX+EBX*8]).
5. These instructions have an effective latency as shown. They map to internal NOPs that can be issued at a rate of
three per cycle but do not occupy execution resources.
6. The latency of repeated string instructions can be found in “Latency of Repeated String Instructions” on
page 167.
7. The first latency value is for 32-bit mode. The second is for 64-bit mode.
8. This opcode is used as a REX prefix in 64-bit mode.
