title: Reference material for uops?
body: <p>For those who do not know, Intel (macro) instructions such as XADD, ADD etc are broken down in to a series of micro-operations (uops), where one macro instruction can have several micro-operations.</p>
  
  <p>I am aware of the Intel developer guides, but they do not seem to detail anything about uops, just the x86 instruction reference.</p>
  
  <p>Is anybody aware of available material referring specifically to the various uops?</p>
