   Yes, they do,*   
      
   I hope you do realize that although the first group (roughly) translates to   
   NOPs**, the second group actually changes the contents of the register.   
      
   *they might have been re-purposed in later processor versions though.   
      
   **while the involved register does not change, there might be some effect on   
   the rest of the processor.
