A very valuable resource, comprehensive, and apparently expert (not being an 
expert myself, I can't really tell):

    http://www.agner.org/optimize/

Not sure how well he addresses your specific question (think he does but I 
can't remember for certain), but a great source of understanding of these 
highly non-trivial architectures.
