 TSX-NI)
The processor supports Intel Transactional Synchronization Extensions - New
Instructions (Intel TSX-NI). Intel TSX-NI provides a set of instruction extensions that
allow programmers to specify regions of code for transactional synchronization.
Programmers can use these extensions to achieve the performance of fine-grain
locking while actually programming using coarse-grain locks. Details on Intel TSX-NI
are in the Intel
®
 Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference.
