|  | <h2>Description</h2> | 
|  | <p>Multiplies the low single-precision floating-point value from the source operand (second operand) by the low single-precision floating-point value in the destination operand (first operand), and stores the single-precision floating-point result in the destination operand. The source operand can be an XMM register or a 32-bit memory location. The destination operand is an XMM register. The three high-order doublewords of the destination operand remain unchanged. See Figure 10-6 in the <em>Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 1</em>, for an illustration of a scalar single-precision floating-point operation.</p> | 
|  | <p>In 64-bit mode, use of the REX.R prefix permits this instruction to access additional registers (XMM8-XMM15).</p> | 
|  | <p>128-bit Legacy SSE version: The first source operand and the destination operand are the same. Bits (VLMAX-1:32) of the corresponding YMM destination register remain unchanged.</p> | 
|  | <p>VEX.128 encoded version: Bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the destination YMM register are zeroed.</p> |
