If I remember correctly there is no such instruction in SSE3 -- full support for SIMD 32-bit integer multiplication was added in SSE4.1 with PMULDQ and PMULLD.

You can use PMULUDQ (_mm_mul_epu32() intrinsic) from SSE2 though, people have been using that to multiply signed integers as well.

Take a look at this thread:
