'''Goldmont''' ('''GLM''') is [[Intel]]'s [[14 nm]] [[microarchitecture]] of [[system on chip]]s for the ultra-low power (ULP) devices. Goldmont-based processors and SoCs are part of the {{intel|Atom}}, {{intel|Pentium (2009)|Pentium}}, and {{intel|Celeron}} families. Goldmont superseded {{intel|Airmont}} in August of 2016. With Goldmont, Intel stopped targeting smartphones altogether, cancelling the related cores and SKUs.

=== Key changes from {{intel|Airmont}} ===
 
* Pipeline
 
** Compared to Airmont, Goldmont is a 3-issue core.
 
** NOPs, MOVs and many ALU operations have 3 op/cycle throughput for 16, 32 and 64-bit registers. (8-bit ALU ops throughput is 2, 1.5 or 1 op per cycle).
 
** ADC, SBB have 0.5 op/cycle throughput, unchanged from Airmont.
 
** INC, DEC, BTx, shift ops are not faster than on Airmont, 8-bit shifts are slightly slower (0.66 op/cycle instead of 1).
 
** Rotate-through-carry (RCL, RCR) throughput continues to be slow and is slightly slower (used to be ~10 cycles per op, now ~12).
 
** 16- and 64-bit shift-double (SHLD, SHRD) throughput continues to be slow and is slightly slower (used to be ~10 cycles per op, now ~14) than on Airmont. (32-bit SHLD, SHRD are fast: 2-4 cycles).
 
** Variable shifts and rotates (SHL r32, CL etc) latency increased from 1 cycle to 2 cycles.
 
** Bit scan (BSF, BSR) throughput improved from 10 to 8 cycles per op.
 
** MUL throughput is better by 1 cycle (used to be 5/7 cycles for 32/64-bit mul, now 4/6).
 
** DIV is more than twice as fast as Airmont, 13 cycles for most divides, 128-bit/64-bit are ~42 cycles.
 
** PUSH to POP forwarding is improved.
 
** REP MOVS streaming copy is twice as fast: now ~26 bytes/cycle.
 
** REP STOS fill is not improved: ~9 bytes/cycle.
 
** Some vector instructions are faster, but like on {{\\|Airmont}}, none have throughput >2 op/cycle. This includes often used ops like adds and multiplies:
 
*** MULPS and MULPD have 4 cycle latency and 1 op/cycle throughput (used to have L5 and T0.5).
 
*** ADDPD has 3 cycle latency and 1 op/cycle throughput (used to have L4 and T0.5).
 
** CRC32 instruction throughput improved from 6 cycles/op to 1 cycle/op, latency is halved from 6 to 3.
 
* Gen 9 GPUs
 
** {{intel|HD Graphics 400}} '''→''' {{intel|HD Graphics 500}} (12 Execution Units, no change)
 
** {{intel|HD Graphics 405}} '''→''' {{intel|HD Graphics 505}} (18 Execution Units, up from 16)
 
 
====New instructions ====
 
Goldmont introduced a number of {{x86|extensions|new instructions}}:
 
 
* {{x86|RDSEED|<code>RDSEED</code>}} - Generates 16, 32 or 64 bit random numbers seeds ([[NIST SP 800-90B]] & [[NIST SP 800-90C]])
 
* {{x86|SMAP|<code>SMAP</code>}} - Supervisor Mode Access Prevention
 
* {{x86|MPX|<code>MPX</code>}} -Memory Protection Extensions
 
* {{x86|XSAVEC|<code>XSAVEC</code>}} - Save processor extended states with compaction to memory
 
* {{x86|XSAVES|<code>XSAVES</code>}} - Save processor supervisor-mode extended states to memory.
 
* {{x86|CLFLUSHOPT|<code>CLFLUSHOPT</code>}} - Flush & Invalidates memory operand and its associated cache line (All L1/L2/L3 etc..)
 
* {{x86|SHA|<code>SHA</code>}} - [[Hardware acceleration]] for SHA hashing operations
 
* FS/GS base access

{{empty section}}
 
 
=== Memory Hierarchy ===
 
* Cache
 
** Hardware prefetchers
 
** L1 Cache:
 
*** 32 [[KiB]] 8-way [[set associative]] instruction, 64 B line size
 
*** 24 KiB 6-way set associative data, 64 B line size
 
*** Per core
 
** L2 Cache:
 
*** 1 MiB 16-way set associative, 64 B line size
 
*** Per 2 cores
 
*** 32B/cycle, 17 cycle latency
 
** L3 Cache:
 
*** No level 3 cache
 
** RAM
 
*** Maximum of 1 [[GiB]], 2 GiB, 4 GiB, 8 GiB
 
*** dual 32-bit channels, 1 or 2 ranks per channel
 
 
=== Multithreading ===
 
Goldmont, like {{\\|Airmont}} has no support for Intel Hyper-Threading Technology.
