Notes:
1. The last three bits of the ModRM byte select the stack entry ST(i).
2. These instructions have an effective latency as shown. However, these instructions generate an internal NOP
with a latency of two cycles but no related dependencies. These internal NOPs can be executed at a rate of
three per cycle and can use any of the three execution resources.
3. This is a VectorPath decoded operation that uses one execution pipe (one ROP).
4. There is additional latency associated with this instruction. “e” represents the difference between the exponents
of the divisor and the dividend. If “s” is the number of normalization shifts performed on the result, then
n = (s+1)/2 where (0 <= n <= 32).
5. The latency provided for this operation is the best-case latency.
6. The three latency numbers represent the latency values for precision control settings of single precision, double
precision, and extended precision, respectively.
