Also bundled on the chip are a total of 47 new SSE4 instructions designed to increase multimedia, floating point and general number crunching performance. This is further backed up by Intel's new "Super Shuffle" engine, which Intel claim to improve the performance of both SSE2, SSE3 and SSE4 instructions that have "shuffle-like operations such as pack, unpack and wider packed shifts" resulting in further increases in performance for content creation, imaging, video and other high-performance computing.
