For example, one embodiment of a processor comprises: a decoder to decode a first instruction to generate a decoded instruction; a first source register to store a first plurality of packed real and imaginary data elements; a second source register to store a second plurality of packed real and imaginary data elements; and execution circuitry to execute the decoded instruction. The execution circuitry includes multiplier circuitry to multiply select real and imaginary data elements in the first and second source registers to generate a plurality of real and imaginary products; adder circuitry to add/subtract various real and imaginary products, scale the results according to an immediate of the instruction, round the scaled results; and saturation circuitry to saturate the rounded results.
