The 4th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor Instruction Extensions intrinsics are assembly-coded functions that call on 4th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor Instructions that include scalar instructions targeted for Intel® 64 architecture processors in process technology smaller than 32nm.
To use these intrinsics, include the
immintrin.h file as follows:
#include <immintrin.h>
Functional Overview
The 4th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor Instruction Extensions include:
- Four intrinsics that map to two hardware instructions
ADOX and
ADCX performing 32-bit or 64-bit arithmetic operations with flags.
- One intrinsic that maps to the hardware instruction,
PREFETCHW. This intrinsic allows data to be to prefetched into the cache in anticipation of a write. This intrinsic can be found in the
Cacheability Support Intrinsics section.
- Three intrinsics that map to the hardware instruction
RDSEED. The intrinsics generate random numbers of 16/32/64 bit wide random integers.
