CMPXCHG8B
Compare and exchange eight bytes. Compares two 8-byte data objects:
Compares 64-bit value in EDX:EAX with a value in memory.
If equal, the value in ECX:EBX is stored into the specified memory operand.
If unequal, the contents of the memory operand is copied into EDX:EAX.
Can be used with a LOCK prefix to execute it as an atomic operation.
The processor never produces a locked read without producing a subsequent locked write. The destination operand always receives a write regardless of the compare result. The destination operand is written back if the compare fails; otherwise, the source operand is written into the destination.
RDTSC
Loads the current 64-bit TSC value into EDX:EAX (upper 32 ...
