Microcode?

Hello All,

I was wondering if someone out there could point me in the right direction for writing microcode? Does an SDK/emulator and/or sample/dev kit exist for this? Where can I obtain the technical information for writing microcode? Ideally I'd like to try to create new instructions and load them in to the Core i7 desktop that I have. BTW- Please don't point me towards assembly (yes, I know it exists, but I'd like to get even closer to the metal). Thanks in advance.

Kindest Regards,

Geoffrey J Gowey

To get the information you require would probably mean having to work for Intel in their microcode division under very strict NDA.
