More recent CPUs use different implementation techniques, so recent

They tend to have support for mixed-width multiplication (but usually
split that into two instructions), probably because it's important for
implementing wide multiplication, which is important for cryptography.

Assembler programming for such applications is a nightmare.
I'd rather use libtommath/crypt et al for that:
