PMAXUD
Compares two unsigned 32-bit integers and stores the maximum value in the destination operand.
The following table covers the supported source and destination operands:
| source | destination(s) |
|---|---|
| reg | reg |
| m4 | reg |
| reg | m4 |
DO NOT support LOCK
This instruction is only available when the processor is operating in 64-bit mode or compatibility mode. It requires the SSE4.1 instruction set extension to be supported by the hardware.
To avoid undefined behavior or #I exceptions, ensure that the operands are correctly aligned to 4-byte boundaries when using memory operands (m4), as unaligned access may incur performance penalties or trigger alignment checks depending on the architectural state.
