Advanced Performance Extensions (APX)
www.intel.com
Advanced Performance Extensions expand the entire x86 instruction set with access to more registers and adds various new features that improve general-purpose performance.

Intel seems to have gotten “inspired” by ARM and is going to double the GP registers to 32 and implement a push2 and pop2 instructions that move two register values in one operation.

Seems interesting enough.

    It’ll be a long while before we see any actual silicon that implements APX though.
