Make that Redwood Cove. For details, see the
Intel ORM Vol1 #248966-050 Section 2.1.1.1.

Also, for the sake of completeness, the officially
undocumented old "Alternate Taken/Not Taken"
hint on the P4 (prefix 0x64) is covered in Agner
Vol3 Section 3.4; in the 2025-12-14 pdf you can
find it in the top half of page 26 of 277.
