Performing partial register write operations in a processor
In one embodiment, a processor includes logic, responsive to a first instruction, to perform an operation on a first source operand and a second source operand associated with the first instruction and write a result of the operation to a destination location comprising a third source operand. The write may be a partial write of the destination location to maintain an unmodified portion of the third source operand. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
