MOVSW operates on *exactly* two bytes at a time. MOVSD operates on *exactly* four bytes at a time. MOVSQ operates on *exactly* eight bytes at a time. If you want more than that, you have to iterate with REP. So, despite the names of the instructions, they are hardly "string" instructions in the traditional sense (string handling functions in string.h and wchar.h).
