i7 instruction costs

Hi,
i have been looking for this and can't find anywhere about the subject. I would like to know how many clock cycles does it takes to execute each instruction in complete asm instruction set for Intel i7 microprocessor. (including SSE & FPU instructions). Does any one has a list of this values ?
Thanks in advance

Well, clock cycles certainly do not equate to execution time on modern processors. But, if you still think you need to know this information, then go directly to the source:

http://www.intel.com/design/corei7/documentation.htm
http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/index.htm

Those are free downloads!

i know this , and this is what i am asking, so i could align my code for optimum pipelining. http://www.intel.com/design/corei7/documentation.htm

have them all, nothing helpful there,
no more than do dirty work timing each one, i guess
