FXSAVE—Save x87 FPU, MMX Technology, SSE, and SSE2 State
Description
Saves the current state of the x87 FPU, MMX technology, XMM, and MXCSR registers
to a 512-byte memory location specified in the destination operand. The content
layout of the 512 byte region depends on whether the processor is operating in non-
64-bit operating modes or 64-bit sub-mode of IA-32e mode. The operation of
FXSAVE in non-64-bit modes are described first.
