CMP is an SPC700 instruction that compares two operands. The right operand is subtracted from the left operand, but the difference is not stored anywhere - the side effect is the N, Z, and C flags being modified.

The operands are stored in the instruction stream in the opposite order they appear in the assembler source. In the assembler source, the operand on the right is the source and the operand on the left is the destination.
