MOV r32,TRx |
0F 24 /r |
Move from test register | Present in Intel 386 and 486 − not present in Intel Pentium or any later Intel CPUs (except they're present in the i486-derived Quark X1000). Present in all Cyrix CPUs. |

MPX instructions
[edit]These instructions were introduced in 6th generation Intel Core "Skylake" CPUs. The last CPU generation to support them was the 9th generation Core "Coffee Lake" CPUs.
Intel MPX adds 4 new registers, BND0 to BND3, that each contains a pair of addresses. MPX also defines a bounds-table as a 2-level directory/table data structure in memory that contains sets of upper/lower bounds.
Instruction | Opcode[a] | Description |
---|---|---|
BNDMK b, m
|
F3 0F 1B /r [b]
|
Make lower and upper bound from memory address expression.
The lower bound is given by base component of address, the upper bound by 1-s complement of the address as a whole. |
BNDCL b, r/m
|
F3 0F 1A /r
|
Check address against lower bound.
|
BNDCU b, r/m
|
F2 0F 1A /r
|
Check address against upper bound in 1's-complement form |
BNDCN b, r/m
|
F2 0F 1B /r
|
Check address against upper bound. |
BMDMOV b, b/m
|
66 0F 1A /r
|
Move a pair of memory bounds to/from memory or between bounds-registers. |
BNDMOV b/m, b
|
66 0F 1B /r
| |
BNDLDX b,mib
|
NP 0F 1A /r [c]
|
Load bounds from the bounds-table, using address translation using an sib-addressing expression mib.[d] |
BNDSTX mib,b
|
NP 0F 1B /r [c]
|
Store bounds into the bounds-table, using address translation using an sib-addressing expression mib.[d] |
BND
|
F2
|
Instruction prefix used with certain branch instructions[e] to indicate that they should not clear the bounds registers. |
- ^ For all of the MPX instructions, 16-bit addressing is disallowed − this effectively makes the address-size override prefix
67h
mandatory in 16-bit mode and prohibited in 32-bit mode. In 64-bit mode, the67h
prefix is ignored for the MPX instructions − address size is always 64-bit. These behaviors are unique to the MPX instructions. - ^ For
BNDMK
in 64-bit mode, RIP-relative addressing is not permitted and will cause #UD. - ^ a b The
BNDLDX
andBNDSTX
instructions requires memory addressing modes that use the SIB byte − non-SIB addressing modes cause #UD. - ^ a b The
BNDLDX
andBNDSTX
instructions produce a #BR exception if bounds directory entry is not valid (which prevents address translation). - ^ The branch instructions that can accept a
BND
prefix are the near forms ofJMP
(opcodesE9
andFF /4
),CALL
(opcodesE8
andFF /2
),RET
(opcodesC2
andC3
), and the short/near forms of theJcc
instructions (opcodes70..7F
and0F 80..8F
). If the BNDPRESERVE config bit is not set, then executing any of these branch instructions without theBND
prefix will clear all four bounds registers. (Other branch instructions − such as e.g. far jumps, short jumps (EB
),LOOP
,IRET
etc − do not clear the bounds registers regardless of whether anF2h
prefix is present or not.)
Hardware Lock Elision
[edit]The Hardware Lock Elision feature of Intel TSX is marked in the Intel SDM as removed from 2019 onwards.[2] This feature took the form of two instruction prefixes, XACQUIRE
and XRELEASE
, that could be attached to memory atomics/stores to elide the memory locking that they represent.
Instruction prefix | Opcode | Description |
---|---|---|
XACQUIRE
|
F2
|
Instruction prefix to indicate start of hardware lock elision, used with memory atomic instructions only (for other instructions, the F2 prefix may have other meanings). When used with such instructions, may start a transaction instead of performing the memory atomic operation.
|
XRELEASE
|
F3
|
Instruction prefix to indicate end of hardware lock elision, used with memory atomic/store instructions only (for other instructions, the F3 prefix may have other meanings). When used with such instructions during hardware lock elision, will end the associated transaction instead of performing the store/atomic.
|
VP2Intersect instructions
[edit]The VP2INTERSECT instructions (an AVX-512 subset) were introduced in Tiger Lake (11th generation mobile Core processors), but were never officially supported on any other Intel processors - they are now considered deprecated[3] and are listed in the Intel SDM as removed from 2023 onwards.[2]
As of July 2024, the VP2INTERSECT instructions have been re-introduced on AMD Zen 5 processors.[4]
Instruction | Opcode | Description |
---|---|---|
VP2INTERSECTD k1+1, xmm2, xmm3/m128/m32bcst VP2INTERSECTD k1+1, ymm2, ymm3/m256/m32bcst VP2INTERSECTD k1+1, zmm2, zmm3/m512/m32bcst

EVEX.NDS.F2.0F38.W0 68 /r
|

|

|
Store, in an even/odd pair of mask registers, the indicators of the locations of value matches between 64-bit lanes in the two vector source arguments. |
Instructions specific to Xeon Phi processors
[edit]"Knights Corner" instructions
[edit]The first generation Xeon Phi processors, codenamed "Knights Corner" (KNC), supported a large number of instructions that are not seen in any later x86 processor. An instruction reference is available[5] − the instructions/opcodes unique to KNC are the ones with VEX and MVEX prefixes (except for the KMOV
, KNOT
and KORTEST
instructions − these are kept with the same opcodes and function in AVX-512, but with an added "W" appended to their instruction names).
Most of these KNC-unique instructions are similar but not identical to instructions in AVX-512 − later Xeon Phi processors replaced these instructions with AVX-512.
Early versions of AVX-512 avoided the instruction encodings used by KNC's MVEX prefix, however with the introduction of Intel APX (Advanced Performance Extensions) in 2023, some of the old KNC MVEX instruction encodings have been reused for new APX encodings. For example, both KNC and APX accept the instruction encoding 62 F1 79 48 6F 04 C1
as valid, but assign different meanings to it:
- KNC:
VMOVDQA32 zmm0, k0, xmmword ptr [rcx+rax*8]{uint8}
- vector load with data conversion - APX:
VMOVDQA32 zmm0, [rcx+r16*8]
- vector load with one of the new APX extended-GPRs used as scaled index
"Knights Landing" and "Knights Mill" instructions
[edit]Some of the AVX-512 instructions in the Xeon Phi "Knights Landing" and later models belong to the AVX-512 subsets "AVX512ER", "AVX512_4FMAPS", "AVX512PF" and "AVX512_4VNNIW", all of which are unique to the Xeon Phi series of processors. The ER and PF subsets were introduced in "Knights Landing" − the 4FMAPS and 4VNNIW instructions were later added in "Knights Mill".
The ER and 4FMAPS instructions are floating-point arithmetic instructions that all follow a given pattern where:
- EVEX.W is used to specify floating-point format (0=FP32, 1=FP64)
- The bottom opcode bit is used to select between packed and scalar operation (0: packed, 1:scalar)
- For a given operation, all the scalar/packed variants belong to the same AVX-512 subset.
- The instructions all support result masking by opmask registers. The AVX512ER instructions also all support broadcast of memory operands.
- The only supported vector width is 512 bits.

The AVX512PF instructions are a set of 16 prefetch instructions. These instructions all use VSIB encoding, where a memory addressing mode using the SIB byte is required, and where the index part of the SIB byte is taken to index into the AVX512 vector register file rather than the GPR register file. The selected AVX512 vector register is then interpreted as a vector of indexes, causing the standard x86 base+index+displacement address calculation to be performed for each vector lane, causing one associated memory operation (prefetches in case of the AVX512PF instructions) to be performed for each active lane. The instruction encodings all follow a pattern where:
- EVEX.W is used to specify format of the prefetchable data (0:FP32, 1:FP64)
- The bottom bit of the opcode is used to indicate whether the AVX512 index register is considered a vector of sixteen signed 32-bit indexes (bit 0 not set) or eight signed 64-bit indexes (bit 0 set)
- The instructions all support operation masking by opmask registers.
- The only supported vector width is 512 bits.

The AVX512_4VNNIW instructions read a 128-bit data item from memory, containing 4 two-component vectors (each component being signed 16-bit). Then, for each of 4 consecutive AVX-512 registers, they will, for each 32-bit lane, interpret the lane as a two-component vector (signed 16-bit) and perform a dot-product with the corresponding two-component vector that was read from memory (the first two-component vector from memory is used for the first AVX-512 source register, and so on). These results are then accumulated into a destination vector register.

Xeon Phi processors (from Knights Landing onwards) also featured the PREFETCHWT1 m8
instruction (opcode 0F 0D /2
, prefetch into L2 cache with intent to write) − these were the only Intel CPUs to officially support this instruction, but it continues to be supported on some non-Intel processors (e.g. Zhaoxin YongFeng).
A handful of instructions to support System Management Mode were introduced in the Am386SXLV and Am386DXLV processors.[7][8] They were also present in the later Am486SXLV/DXLV and Elan SC300/310 processors.[9]
The SMM functionality of these processors was implemented using Intel ICE microcode without a valid license, resulting in a lawsuit that AMD lost in late 1994.[10] As a result of this loss, the ICE microcode was removed from all later AMD CPUs, and the SMM instructions removed with it.

Return from SMM interrupt handler (Am486SXLV/DXLV only). Similar to RES3 , but with a different save state format.[13]

These SMM instructions were also present on the IBM 386SLC and its derivatives (albeit with the LOADALL
-like SMM return opcode 0F 07
named ICERET
),[12][14][11] as well as on the UMC U5S processor.[15]
3DNow! instructions
[edit]The 3DNow! instruction set extension was introduced in the AMD K6-2, mainly adding support for floating-point SIMD instructions using the MMX registers (two FP32 components in a 64-bit vector register). The instructions were mainly promoted by AMD, but were supported on some non-AMD CPUs as well. The processors supporting 3DNow! were:
- AMD K6-2, K6-III, and all processors based on the K7, K8 and K10 microarchitectures. (Later AMD microarchitectures such as Bulldozer, Bobcat and Zen do not support 3DNow!)
- IDT WinChip 2 and 3
- VIA Cyrix III (both "Joshua" and "Samuel" variants), and the "Samuel" and "Ezra" revisions of VIA C3. (Later VIA CPUs, from C3 "Nehemiah" onwards, dropped 3DNow! in favor of SSE.)
- National Semiconductor Geode GX2; AMD Geode GX and LX.

- ^ The 3DNow! precision requirements can be fulfilled in several different ways, for example:
- On AMD K6-2, the
PFRCPIT1
,PFRSQIT1
andPFRCPIT2
instructions would perform various parts of a Newton-Raphson iteration to improve the precision of a low-precision initial result fromPFRCP
/PFRSQRT
.[17] - On AMD Geode LX, the
PFRCP
andPFRSQRT
instructions would instead compute their results with full 24-bit precision − this made it possible to turn thePFRCPIT1
,PFRSQIT1
andPFRCPIT2
instructions into pure data movement instructions, performing the same operation asMOVQ
.[18]
- On AMD K6-2, the
- ^ The 3DNow!
PMULHRW
instruction has the same mnemonic as the Cyrix EMMIPMULHRW
instruction, however its opcode and function differ (the EMMI instruction right-shifts its multiply-result by 15 bits, while the 3DNow! instruction right-shifts by 16 bits).Some assemblers/disassemblers, such as NASM, resolve this ambiguity by using the mnemonic
PMULHRWA
for the 3DNow! instruction andPMULHRWC
for the EMMI instruction. - ^ The
FEMMS
instruction differs from the standard MMXEMMS
instruction in thatFEMMS
makes the FP/MMX register contents undefined after the instruction is executed.
3DNow! also introduced a couple of prefetch instructions: PREFETCH m8
(opcode 0F 0D /0
) and PREFETCHW m8
(opcode 0F 0D /1
). These instructions, unlike the rest of 3DNow!, are not discontinued but continue to be supported on modern AMD CPUs. The PREFETCHW
instruction is also supported on Intel CPUs starting with 65 nm Pentium 4,[19] albeit executed as NOP until Broadwell.

SSE5 was a proposed SSE extension by AMD, using a new "DREX" instruction encoding to add support for new 3-operand and 4-operand instructions to SSE.[22] The bundle did not include the full set of Intel's SSE4 instructions, making it a competitor to SSE4 rather than a successor.
AMD chose not to implement SSE5 as originally proposed − it was instead reworked into FMA4 and XOP,[23] which provided similar functionality but with a quite different instruction encoding − using the VEX prefix for the FMA4 instructions and the new VEX-like XOP prefix for most of the remaining instructions.
Introduced with the Bulldozer processor core, removed again from Zen (microarchitecture) onward.
A revision of most of the SSE5 instruction set.
The XOP instructions mostly make use of the XOP prefix, which is a 3-byte prefix with the following layout:
Byte 0 | Byte 1 | Byte 2 | ||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bits | 7:0 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | |||
Usage | 8Fh
|
R̅ | X̅ | B̅ | mmmmm | W | v̅v̅v̅v̅ | L | pp |
where:
- Overlines indicate inverted bits.
- The R/X/B bits are argument extension bits similar to the RXB bits of the REX prefix.
- mmmmm is an opcode-map specifier. While capable of encoding values from 8 to 31 (values 0 to 7 map to ModR/M-encoded variants of the older
POP
instruction, making them unusable for XOP), only maps8
,9
and0Ah
were ever used: map8
for instructions that take an 8-bit immediate, map9
for instructions that don't take an immediate, and map0Ah
for instructions that take a 32-bit immediate. - W is used in a couple of different ways:
- For XOP vector instructions, W is used to swap the last two vector source arguments to the instruction. For instructions that allow W=1, encodings with W=0 allow the second-to-last vector argument to be a memory argument, while encodings with W=1 allow the last vector argument to be a memory argument. For instructions that don't allow their last two vector arguments to be swapped, W is required to be 0.
- For XOP-encoded integer-register instructions (the TBM and LWP instruction set extensions, see below), W is used for operand size. (0=32-bit, 1=64-bit)
- vvvv is an extra source register argument, normally the first non-r/m source argument for instructions with ≥3 register arguments.
- L is a vector length specifier. L=1 indicates 256-bit operation, L=0 indicates scalar or 128-bit operation.
- pp is an embedded prefix − nominally 0/1/2/3=none/66h/F2h/F3h, but only 0 was ever used with any of the instructions defined for the XOP prefix.
The XOP instructions encoded with the XOP prefix are as follows:

instruction, a series of alias mnemonics are available for the instruction, one for each of the eight comparison functions encodable in the imm8 argument. These alias mnemonics specify the comparison to perform after the "VPCOM" part of the mnemonic. For example:VPCOMEQB xmm1,xmm2,xmm3

They were, however, implemented by AMD, who designated them as being a part of the XOP instruction set extension. (Like the other parts of XOP, they've been removed in AMD Zen.)
Supported in AMD processors starting with the Bulldozer architecture, removed in Zen. Not supported by any Intel chip as of 2023.
Fused multiply-add with four operands. FMA4 was realized in hardware before FMA3.

AMD introduced TBM together with BMI1 in its Piledriver[26] line of processors; later AMD Jaguar and Zen-based processors do not support TBM.[27] No Intel processors (as of 2023) support TBM.
The TBM instructions are all encoded using the XOP prefix. They are all available in 32-bit and 64-bit forms, selected with the XOP.W bit (0=32bit, 1=64bit). (XOP.W is ignored outside 64-bit mode.) Like all instructions encoded with VEX/XOP prefixes, they are unavailable in Real Mode and Virtual-8086 mode.

Lightweight Profiling instructions
[edit]The AMD Lightweight Profiling (LWP) feature was introduced in AMD Bulldozer and removed in AMD Zen. On all supported CPUs, the latest available microcode updates have disabled LWP due to Spectre mitigations.[30]
These instructions are available in Ring 3, but not available in Real Mode and Virtual-8086 mode. All of them use the XOP prefix.
Instruction | Opcode | Description |
---|---|---|
LLWPCB r32/64
|
XOP.9 12 /0
|
Load LWPCB (Lightweight Profiling Control Block) address.[a]
Loading an address of 0 disables LWP. Loading a nonzero address will cause the CPU to perform validation of the specified LWPCB, then enable LWP if the validation passed. If LWP was already enabled, state for the previous LWPCB is flushed to memory. |
SLWPCB r32/64
|
XOP.9 12 /1
|
Store LWPCB address[a] to register, and flush LWP state to memory.
If LWP is not enabled, the stored address is 0. |
LWPINS r32/64, r/m32, imm32
|
XOP.A 12 /0 imm32
|
Insert user event record with EventID=255 in LWP ring buffer. The arguments are inserted into the event record as follows:
The |
LWPVAL r32/64, r/m32, imm32
|
XOP.A 12 /1 imm32
|
Decrement the event counter associated with the programmed value sample event. If the resulting counter value ends up negative, insert an event record with EventID=1 in LWP ring buffer. (The instruction arguments are inserted in this record in the same way as for LWPINS .)
Executes as NOP if LWP is not enabled or if the event counter is not enabled. If no event record is inserted, then the second argument (which may be a memory argument) is not accessed. |
- ^ a b The address used by
LLWPCB
andSLWPCB
is an effective-address, specified relative to the DS: segment base address.LLWPCB
converts this effective-address to a linear-address by adding the DS base address to it, andSLWPCB
converts it back by subtracting the DS base address. Changing the DS base address while LWP is enabled will thereby causeSLWPCB
to return a different address than what was specified toLLWPCB
, and may also causeXSAVE
to fail to save LWP state properly.

MOV r/m,DS3
|
8C /6
|
Move to/from the DS2 and DS3 extended segment registers.
The DS2 and DS3 registers (which are specific to the NEC V55) act similar to regular x86 real mode segment registers except that they are left-shifted by 8 rather than 4, enabling access to 16MB of memory. Block transfer instructions, such as MOVBKW, can access the 16MB memory space by simultaneously prefixing with DS2 and DS3.[38] |

These instructions are present in Cyrix CPUs as well as NatSemi/AMD Geode CPUs derived from Cyrix microarchitectures (Geode GX and LX, but not NX). They are also present in Cyrix manufacturing partner CPUs from IBM, ST and TI, as well as the VIA Cyrix III ("Joshua" core only, not "Samuel") and a few SoCs such as STPC ATLAS and ZFMicro ZFx86.[42] Many of these opcodes have been reassigned to other instructions in later non-Cyrix CPUs.

Return from Debug Management Mode |
- ^ The Cyrix SMM instructions also include
RSM
(0F AA
; Return from System Management mode), however,RSM
is not a Cyrix-specific instruction, and it continues to exist in modern non-Cyrix x86 processors. - ^
RSDC
withCS
as a destination register is only supported on NatSemi Geode GX2 and AMD Geode GX/LX[46] - on other processors, it causes #UD. - ^ Some assemblers/disassemblers, such as NASM, use the instruction mnemonic
SMINTOLD
for the0F 7E
encoding. - ^ a b For the
RDSHR
andWRSHR
instructions, Cyrix's documentation[47] specifies that the instruction accepts a ModR/M byte but does not specify the encoding of the ModR/M byte's reg field. NASM v0.98.31 and later uses /0 for these instructions,[48] while sandpile.org's opcode tables[49] indicate that the reg field is ignored for these instructions.
These instructions were introduced in the Cyrix 6x86MX and MII processors, and were also present in the MediaGXm and Geode GX1[52] processors. (In later non-Cyrix processors, all of their opcodes have been used for SSE or SSE2 instructions.)
These instructions are integer SIMD instructions acting on 64-bit vectors in MMX registers or memory. Each instruction takes two explicit operands, where the first one is an MMX register operand and the second one is either a memory operand or a second MMX register. In addition, several of the instructions take an implied operand, which is an MMX register implied from the first operand as follows:
First explicit operand | mm0 |
mm1 |
mm2 |
mm3 |
mm4 |
mm5 |
mm6 |
mm7
|
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Implied operand | mm1 |
mm0 |
mm3 |
mm2 |
mm5 |
mm4 |
mm7 |
mm6
|
In the instruction descriptions in the below table, arg1
and arg2
refer to the two explicit operands of the instruction, and imp
to the implied operand.
Instruction | Opcode | Description | |
---|---|---|---|
PAVEB mm,mm/m64 |
0F 50 /r |
Packed average bytes:[a]arg1 <- (arg1+arg2) >> 1
| |
PADDSIW mm,mm/m64 |
0F 51 /r |
Packed add signed words with saturation, using implied destination:imp <- saturate_s16(arg1+arg2)
| |
PMAGW mm,mm/m64 |
0F 52 /r |
Packed signed word magnitude maximum value:if (abs(arg2) > abs(arg1)) then arg1 <- arg2
| |
PDISTIB mm,m64 [b] |
0F 54 /r |
Packed unsigned byte distance and accumulate to implied destination, with saturation:imp <- saturate_u8(imp + (abs(arg1-arg2)))
| |
PSUBSIW mm,mm/m64 |
0F 55 /r |
Packed subtract signed words with saturation, using implied destination:imp <- saturate_s16(arg1-arg2)
| |
PMULHRW mm,mm/m64 ,[c]PMULHRWC mm,mm/m64 |
0F 59 /r |
Packed signed word multiply high with rounding:arg1 <- (arg1*arg2+0x4000)>>15
| |
PMULHRIW mm,mm/m64 |
0F 5D /r |
Packed signed word multiply high with rounding and implied destination:imp <- (arg1*arg2+0x4000)>>15
| |
PMACHRIW mm,m64 [b] |
0F 5E /r |
Packed signed word multiply high with rounding and accumulation to implied destination:imp <- imp + ((arg1*arg2+0x4000)>>15)
| |
PMVZB mm,m64 [b] |
0F 58 /r |
if (imp == 0) then arg1 <- arg2
|
Packed conditional load from memory to MMX register.
Condition is evaluated on a per-byte-lane basis, by comparing byte lanes in the implied source to zero (with signed compare) − if the comparison passes, then the corresponding destination lane is loaded from memory, otherwise it keeps its original value. |
PMVNZB mm,m64 [b] |
0F 5A /r |
if (imp != 0) then arg1 <- arg2
| |
PMVLZB mm,m64 [b] |
0F 5B /r |
if (imp < 0) then arg1 <- arg2
| |
PMVGEZB mm,m64 [b] |
0F 5C /r |
if (imp >= 0) then arg1 <- arg2
|
- ^ Implementations differ on whether the
PAVEB
instruction treats the bytes as signed or unsigned.[53] - ^ a b c d e f For
PDISTIB
,PMACHRIW
and thePMV*
instructions, the second explicit operand is required to be a memory operand − register operands are not supported. - ^ The Cyrix EMMI
PMULHRW
instruction has the same mnemonic as the 3DNow!PMULHRW
instruction, however its opcode and function differ (the EMMI instruction right-shifts its multiply-result by 15 bits, while the 3DNow! instruction right-shifts by 16 bits).Some assemblers/disassemblers, such as NASM, resolve this ambiguity by using the mnemonic
PMULHRWA
for the 3DNow! instruction andPMULHRWC
for the EMMI instruction.
Instructions specific to Chips and Technologies CPUs
[edit]The C&T F8680 PC/Chip is a system-on-a-chip featuring an 80186-compatible CPU core, with a few additional instructions to support the F8680-specific "SuperState R"[54] supervisor/system-management feature. Some of the added instructions for "SuperState R" are:[55]
