x86 instruction listings
The x86 instruction set refers to the set of instructions that x86-compatible microprocessors support. The instructions are usually part of an executable program, often stored as a computer file and executed on the processor.
The x86 instruction set has been extended several times, introducing wider registers and datatypes as well as new functionality.[1]
x86 integer instructions
Below is the full 8086/8088 instruction set of Intel (81 instructions total). Most if not all of these instructions are available in 32-bit mode; they just operate on 32-bit registers (eax, ebx, etc.) and values instead of their 16-bit (ax, bx, etc.) counterparts. The updated instruction set is also grouped according to architecture (i386, i486, i686) and more generally is referred to as (32-bit) x86 and (64-bit) x86-64 (also known as AMD64).
Original 8086/8088 instructions
Instruction | Meaning | Notes | Opcode |
---|---|---|---|
AAA | ASCII adjust AL after addition | used with unpacked binary-coded decimal | 0x37 |
AAD | ASCII adjust AX before division | 8086/8088 datasheet documents only base 10 version of the AAD instruction (opcode 0xD5 0x0A), but any other base will work. Later Intel's documentation has the generic form too. NEC V20 and V30 (and possibly other NEC V-series CPUs) always use base 10, and ignore the argument, causing a number of incompatibilities | 0xD5 |

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 The descriptors used by the
LGDT
,LIDT
,SGDT
andSIDT
instructions consist of a 2-part data structure. The first part is a 16-bit value, specifying table size in bytes minus 1. The second part is a 32-bit value (64-bit value in 64-bit mode), specifying the linear start address of the table.
ForLGDT
andLIDT
with a 16-bit operand size, the address is ANDed with 00FFFFFFh. On Intel (but not AMD) CPUs, theSGDT
andSIDT
instructions with a 16-bit operand size is – as of Intel SDM revision 079, March 2023 – documented to write a descriptor to memory with the last byte being set to 0. However, observed behavior is that bits 31:24 of the descriptor table address are written instead.[2] - ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 The
LGDT
,LIDT
,LLDT
,LMSW
andLTR
instructions are serializing on Pentium and later processors. - ↑ On 80386 and later, the "Machine Status Word" is the same as the CR0 control register – however, the
LMSW
instruction can only modify the bottom 4 bits of this register and cannot clear bit 0. The inability to clear bit 0 means thatLMSW
can be used to enter but not leave x86 Protected Mode.
On 80286, it is not possible to leave Protected Mode at all (neither withLMSW
nor withLOADALL
[3]) without a CPU reset – on 80386 and later, it is possible to leave Protected Mode, but this requires the use of the 80386-and-laterMOV
toCR0
instruction. - ↑ If
CR4.UMIP=1
is set, then theSGDT
,SIDT
,SLDT
,SMSW
andSTR
instructions can only run in Ring 0.
These instructions were unprivileged on all x86 CPUs from 80286 onwards until the introduction of UMIP in 2017.[4] This has been a significant security problem for software-based virtualization, since it enables these instructions to be used by a VM guest to detect that it is running inside a VM.[5][6] - ↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 The
SMSW
,SLDT
andSTR
instructions always use an operand size of 16 bits when used with a memory argument. With a register argument on 80386 or later processors, wider destination operand sizes are available and behave as follows:SMSW
: Stores full CR0 in x86-64 long mode, undefined otherwise.SLDT
: Zero-extends 16-bit argument on Pentium Pro and later processors, undefined on earlier processors.STR
: Zero-extends 16-bit argument.
- ↑ In 64-bit long mode, the
ARPL
instruction is not available – the63 /r
opcode has been reassigned to the 64-bit-mode-onlyMOVSXD
instruction. - ↑ The
ARPL
instruction causes #UD in Real mode and Virtual 8086 Mode – Windows 95 and OS/2 2.x are known to make extensive use of this #UD to use the63
opcode as a one-byte breakpoint to transition from Virtual 8086 Mode to kernel mode.[7][8] - ↑ Bits 19:16 of this mask are documented as "undefined" on Intel CPUs.[9] On AMD CPUs, the mask is documented as
0x00FFFF00
. - ↑ On some Intel CPU/microcode combinations from 2019 onwards, the
VERW
instruction also flushes microarchitectural data buffers. This enables it to be used as part of workarounds for Microarchitectural Data Sampling security vulnerabilities.[10][11] - ↑ 10.0 10.1 Undocumented, 80286 only.[3][12][13] (A different variant of
LOADALL
with a different opcode and memory layout exists on 80386.)
Added with 80386
The 80386 added support for 32-bit operation to the x86 instruction set. This was done by widening the general-purpose registers to 32 bits and introducing the concepts of OperandSize and AddressSize – most instruction forms that would previously take 16-bit data arguments were given the ability to take 32-bit arguments by setting their OperandSize to 32 bits, and instructions that could take 16-bit address arguments were given the ability to take 32-bit address arguments by setting their AddressSize to 32 bits. (Instruction forms that work on 8-bit data continue to be 8-bit regardless of OperandSize. Using a data size of 16 bits will cause only the bottom 16 bits of the 32-bit general-purpose registers to be modified – the top 16 bits are left unchanged.)
The default OperandSize and AddressSize to use for each instruction is given by the D bit of the segment descriptor of the current code segment - D=0
makes both 16-bit, D=1
makes both 32-bit. Additionally, they can be overridden on a per-instruction basis with two new instruction prefixes that were introduced in the 80386:
66h
: OperandSize override. Will change OperandSize from 16-bit to 32-bit ifCS.D=0
, or from 32-bit to 16-bit ifCS.D=1
.67h
: AddressSize override. Will change AddressSize from 16-bit to 32-bit ifCS.D=0
, or from 32-bit to 16-bit ifCS.D=1
.
The 80386 also introduced the two new segment registers FS
and GS
as well as the x86 control, debug and test registers.
The new instructions introduced in the 80386 can broadly be subdivided into two classes:
- Pre-existing opcodes that needed new mnemonics for their 32-bit OperandSize variants (e.g.
CWDE
,LODSD
) - New opcodes that introduced new functionality (e.g.
SHLD
,SETcc
)
For instruction forms where the operand size can be inferred from the instruction's arguments (e.g. ADD EAX,EBX
can be inferred to have a 32-bit OperandSize due to its use of EAX as an argument), new instruction mnemonics are not needed and not provided.

Should be used to return from interrupts when the interrupt handler was entered through a 32-bit IDT interrupt/trap gate.

- ↑ For the 32-bit string instructions, the ±± notation is used to indicate that the indicated register is post-decremented by 4 if
EFLAGS.DF=1
and post-incremented by 4 otherwise.
For the operands where the DS segment is indicated, the DS segment can be overridden by a segment-override prefix – where the ES segment is indicated, the segment is always ES and cannot be overridden.
The choice of whether to use the 16-bit SI/DI registers or the 32-bit ESI/EDI registers as the address registers to use is made by AddressSize, overridable with the67
prefix. - ↑ The 32-bit string instructions accept repeat-prefixes in the same way as older 8/16-bit string instructions.

) will repeat the instruction the number of times specified in rCX (CX or ECX, decided by AddressSize), decrementing rCX for each iteration (with rCX=0 resulting in no-op and proceeding to the next instruction).
ForCMPSD
andSCASD
, theREPE
(F3
) andREPNE
(F2
) prefixes are available, which will repeat the instruction but only as long as the flag condition (ZF=1 forREPE
, ZF=0 forREPNE
) holds true. - ↑ For the
INSB/W/D
instructions, the memory access rights for theES:[rDI]
memory address might not be checked until after the port access has been performed – if this check fails (e.g. page fault or other memory exception), then the data item read from the port is lost. As such, it is not recommended to use this instruction to access an I/O port that performs any kind of side effect upon read. - ↑ I/O port access is only allowed when CPL≤IOPL or the I/O port permission bitmap bits for the port to access are all set to 0.
- ↑ The
CWDE
instruction differs from the olderCWD
instruction in thatCWD
would sign-extend the 16-bit value in AX into a 32-bit value in the DX:AX register pair. - ↑ For the
E3
opcode (JCXZ
/JECXZ
), the choice of whether the instruction will useCX
orECX
for its comparison (and consequently which mnemonic to use) is based on the AddressSize, not OperandSize. (OperandSize instead controls whether the jump destination should be truncated to 16 bits or not).
This also applies to the loop instructionsLOOP
,LOOPE
,LOOPNE
(opcodesE0
,E1
,E2
), however, unlikeJCXZ
/JECXZ
, these instructions have not been given new mnemonics for their ECX-using variants. - ↑ For
PUSHA(D)
, the value of SP/ESP pushed onto the stack is the value it had just before thePUSHA(D)
instruction started executing. - ↑ For
POPA
/POPAD
, the stack item corresponding to SP/ESP is popped off the stack (performing a memory read), but not placed into SP/ESP. - ↑ The
PUSHFD
andPOPFD
instructions will cause a #GP exception if executed in virtual 8086 mode if IOPL is not 3.
ThePUSHF
,POPF
,IRET
andIRETD
instructions will cause a #GP exception if executed in Virtual-8086 mode if IOPL is not 3 and VME is not enabled. - ↑ If
IRETD
is used to return from kernel mode to user mode (which will entail a CPL change) and the user-mode stack segment indicated by SS is a 16-bit segment, then theIRETD
instruction will only restore the low 16 bits of the stack pointer (ESP/RSP), with the remaining bits keeping whatever value they had in kernel code before theIRETD
. This has necessitated complex workarounds on both Linux ("ESPFIX")[14] and Windows.[15] This issue also affects the later 64-bitIRETQ
instruction.

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 For the
BT
,BTS
,BTR
andBTC
instructions:- If the first argument to the instruction is a register operand and/or the second argument is an immediate, then the bit-index in the second argument is taken modulo operand size (16/32/64, in effect using only the bottom 4, 5 or 6 bits of the index.)
- If the first argument is a memory operand and the second argument is a register operand, then the bit-index in the second argument is used in full – it is interpreted as a signed bit-index that is used to offset the memory address to use for the bit test.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 The
BTS
,BTC
andBTR
instructions accept theLOCK
(F0
) prefix when used with a memory argument – this results in the instruction executing atomically. - ↑ If the
F3
prefix is used with the0F BC /r
opcode, then the instruction will execute asTZCNT
on systems that support the BMI1 extension.TZCNT
differs fromBSF
in thatTZCNT
but notBSR
is defined to return operand size if the source operand is zero – for other source operand values, they produce the same result. - ↑ 4.0 4.1
BSF
andBSR
set the EFLAGS.ZF flag to 1 if the source argument was all-0s and 0 otherwise.
If the source argument was all-0s, then the destination register is documented as being left unchanged on AMD processors, but set to an undefined value on Intel processors. - ↑ If the
F3
prefix is used with the0F BD /r
opcode, then the instruction will execute asLZCNT
on systems that support the ABM or LZCNT extensions.LZCNT
produces a different result fromBSR
for most input values. - ↑ 6.0 6.1 For
SHLD
andSHRD
, the shift-amount is masked – the bottom 5 bits are used for 16/32-bit operand size and 6 bits for 64-bit operand size.SHLD
andSHRD
with 16-bit arguments and a shift-amount greater than 16 produce undefined results. (Actual results differ between different Intel CPUs, with at least three different behaviors known.[16]) - ↑ 7.0 7.1 The condition codes supported for the
SETcc
andJcc near
instructions (opcodes0F 9x /0
and0F 8x
respectively, with the x nibble specifying the condition) are:x cc Condition (EFLAGS) 0 O OF=1: "Overflow" 1 NO OF=0: "Not Overflow" 2 C,B,NAE CF=1: "Carry", "Below", "Not Above or Equal" 3 NC,NB,AE CF=0: "Not Carry", "Not Below", "Above or Equal" 4 Z,E ZF=1: "Zero", "Equal" 5 NZ,NE ZF=0: "Not Zero", "Not Equal" 6 NA,BE (CF=1 or ZF=1): "Not Above", "Below or Equal" 7 A,NBE (CF=0 and ZF=0): "Above", "Not Below or Equal" 8 S SF=1: "Sign" 9 NS SF=0: "Not Sign" A P,PE PF=1: "Parity", "Parity Even" B NP,PO PF=0: "Not Parity", "Parity Odd" C L,NGE SF≠OF: "Less", "Not Greater Or Equal" D NL,GE SF=OF: "Not Less", "Greater Or Equal" E LE,NG (ZF=1 or SF≠OF): "Less or Equal", "Not Greater" F NLE,G (ZF=0 and SF=OF): "Not Less or Equal", "Greater" - ↑ For
SETcc
, while the opcode is commonly specified as /0 – implying that bits 5:3 of the instruction's ModR/M byte should be 000 – modern x86 processors (Pentium and later) ignore bits 5:3 and will execute the instruction asSETcc
regardless of the contents of these bits. - ↑ For
LFS
,LGS
andLSS
, the size of the offset part of the far pointer is given by operand size – the size of the segment part is always 16 bits. In 64-bit mode, using theREX.W
prefix with these instructions will cause them to load a far pointer with a 64-bit offset on Intel but not AMD processors. - ↑ 10.0 10.1 10.2 10.3 10.4 10.5 For
MOV
to/from theCRx
,DRx
andTRx
registers, the reg part of the ModR/M byte is used to indicateCRx/DRx/TRx
register and r/m part the general-register. Uniquely for theMOV CRx/DRx/TRx
opcodes, the top two bits of the ModR/M byte is ignored – these opcodes are decoded and executed as if the top two bits of the ModR/M byte are11b
. - ↑ 11.0 11.1 11.2 11.3 For moves to/from the
CRx
andDRx
registers, the operand size is always 64 bits in 64-bit mode and 32 bits otherwise. - ↑ On processors prior to Pentium, moves to
CR0
would not serialize the instruction stream – in part for this reason, it is usually required to perform a far jump immediately after aMOV
toCR0
if such aMOV
is used to enable/disable protected mode and/or memory paging.MOV
toCR2
is architecturally listed as serializing, but has been reported to be non-serializing on at least some Intel Core-i7 processors.[17]MOV
toCR8
(introduced with x86-64) is not serializing. - ↑ 13.0 13.1 The
MOV TRx
instructions were discontinued from Pentium onwards. - ↑ The
INT1
/ICEBP
(F1
) instruction is present on all known Intel x86 processors from the 80386 onwards,[18] but only fully documented for Intel processors from the May 2018 release of the Intel SDM (rev 067) onwards.[19] Before this release, mention of the instruction in Intel material was sporadic, e.g. AP-526 rev 001.[20]
For AMD processors, the instruction has been documented since 2002.[21] - ↑ The operation of the
F1
(ICEBP
) opcode differs from the operation of the regular software interrupt opcodeCD 01
in several ways:- In protected mode,
- In virtual-8086 mode,
CD 01
will also check CPL against IOPL as an access-rights check, whileF1
will not. - In virtual-8086 mode with VME enabled, interrupt redirection is supported for
CD 01
but notF1
.
CD 01
will check CPL against the interrupt descriptor's DPL field as an access-rights check, whileF1
will not. - In virtual-8086 mode,
- ↑ The UMOV instruction is present on 386 and 486 processors only.[18]
- ↑ 17.0 17.1 The
XBTS
andIBTS
instructions were discontinued with the B1 stepping of 80386.
They have been used by software mainly for detection of the buggy[22] B0 stepping of the 80386. Microsoft Windows (v2.01 and later) will attempt to run theXBTS
instruction as part of its CPU detection ifCPUID
is not present, and will refuse to boot ifXBTS
is found to be working.[23] - ↑ 18.0 18.1 For
XBTS
andIBTS
, the r/m argument represents the data to extract/insert a bitfield from/to, the reg argument the bitfield to be inserted/extracted, AX/EAX a bit-offset and CL a bitfield length.[24] - ↑ Undocumented, 80386 only.[25]

- ↑ Using
BSWAP
with 16-bit registers isn't disallowed per se (it will execute without producing an #UD or other exceptions) but is documented to produce undefined results – it is reported to produce various different results on 486,[26] 586, and Bochs/QEMU.[27] - ↑ 2.0 2.1 On Intel 80486 stepping A,[28] the
CMPXCHG
instruction uses a different encoding -0F A6 /r
for 8-bit variant,0F A7 /r
for 16/32-bit variant. The0F B0/B1
encodings are used on 80486 stepping B and later.[29][30] - ↑ The
CMPXCHG
instruction setsEFLAGS
in the same way as aCMP
instruction that uses the accumulator (AL/AX/EAX/RAX) as its first argument would do. - ↑
INVLPG
executes as no-operation if the m8 argument is invalid (e.g. unmapped page or non-canonical address).INVLPG
can be used to invalidate TLB entries for individual global pages. - ↑ 5.0 5.1 The
INVD
andWBINVD
instructions will invalidate all cache lines in the CPU's L1 caches. It is implementation-defined whether they will invalidate L2/L3 caches as well.
These instructions are serializing – on some processors, they may block interrupts until completion as well. - ↑ If the PRM (Processor Reserved Memory) has been set up by using the PRMRRs (PRM range registers), then the
INVD
instruction is not permitted and will cause a #GP(0) exception. (The PRM is needed for Intel SGX.)[31] - ↑ If the
F3
prefix is used with the0F 09
opcode, then the instruction will execute asWBNOINVD
on processors that support the WBNOINVD extension – this will not invalidate the cache.

Doorbell Register (AMD) - ↑ System Management Mode and the
RSM
instruction were made available on non-SL variants of the Intel 486 only after the initial release of the Intel Pentium in 1993. - ↑ On some older 32-bit processors, executing
CPUID
with a leaf index (EAX) greater than 0 may leave EBX and ECX unmodified, keeping their old values. For this reason, it is recommended to zero out EBX and ECX before executingCPUID
.
Processors noted to exhibit this behavior include Cyrix MII[38] and IDT WinChip 2.[39]
In 64-bit mode,CPUID
will set the top 32 bits of RAX, RBX, RCX and RDX to zero. - ↑ On some Intel processors starting from Ivy Bridge, there exists MSRs that can be used to restrict
CPUID
to ring 0. Such MSRs are documented for at least Ivy Bridge[40] and Denverton.[41]
The ability to restrictCPUID
to ring 0 also exists on AMD processors supporting the "CpuidUserDis" feature (Zen 4 "Raphael" and later).[42] - ↑ 6.0 6.1
CPUID
is also available on some Intel and AMD 486 processor variants that were released after the initial release of the Intel Pentium. - ↑ On the Cyrix 5x86 and 6x86 CPUs,
CPUID
is not enabled by default and must be enabled through a Cyrix configuration register. - ↑ On NexGen CPUs,
CPUID
is only supported with some system BIOSes. On some NexGen CPUs that do supportCPUID
, EFLAGS.ID is not supported but EFLAGS.AC is, complicating CPU detection.[43] - ↑ Unlike the older

instruction does not modify any EFLAGS bits other than ZF. - ↑

with a register operand (which is an invalid encoding) can cause hangs on some Intel Pentium CPUs (Pentium F00F bug). - ↑ 11.0 11.1 11.2 On IDT WinChip, Transmeta Crusoe and Rise mP6 processors, the
CMPXCHG8B
instruction is always supported, however its CPUID bit may be missing. This is a workaround for a bug in Windows NT.[44] - ↑ 12.0 12.1 The
RDTSC
andRDPMC
instructions are not ordered with respect to other instructions, and may sample their respective counters before earlier instructions are executed or after later instructions have executed. Invocations ofRDPMC
(but notRDTSC
) may be reordered relative to each other even for reads of the same counter.
In order to impose ordering with respect to other instructions,LFENCE
or serializing instructions (e.g.CPUID
) are needed.[45] - ↑ Fixed-rate TSC was introduced in two stages:
- Constant TSC
- TSC running at a fixed rate as long as the processor core is not in a deep-sleep (C2 or deeper) mode, but not synchronized between CPU cores. Introduced in Intel Prescott, Yonah and Bonnell. Also present in all Transmeta and VIA Nano[46] CPUs. Does not have a CPUID bit.
- Invariant TSC
- TSC running at a fixed rate, and remaining synchronized between CPU cores in all P-,C- and T-states (but not necessarily S-states).
Present in AMD K10 and later; Intel Nehalem/Saltwell[47] and later; Zhaoxin LuJiaZui[48] and later. Indicated with a CPUID bit (leaf8000_0007:EDX[8]
).
- ↑
RDTSC
can be run outside Ring 0 only ifCR4.TSD=0
.
On Intel Pentium and AMD K5,RDTSC
cannot be run in Virtual-8086 mode.[49] Later processors removed this restriction. - ↑
RDPMC
can be run outside Ring 0 only ifCR4.PCE=1
. - ↑ The
RDPMC
instruction is not present in VIA processors prior to the Nano. - ↑ The condition codes supported for
CMOVcc
instruction (opcode0F 4x /r
, with the x nibble specifying the condition) are:x cc Condition (EFLAGS) 0 O OF=1: "Overflow" 1 NO OF=0: "Not Overflow" 2 C,B,NAE CF=1: "Carry", "Below", "Not Above or Equal" 3 NC,NB,AE CF=0: "Not Carry", "Not Below", "Above or Equal" 4 Z,E ZF=1: "Zero", "Equal" 5 NZ,NE ZF=0: "Not Zero", "Not Equal" 6 NA,BE (CF=1 or ZF=1): "Not Above", "Below or Equal" 7 A,NBE (CF=0 and ZF=0): "Above", "Not Below or Equal" 8 S SF=1: "Sign" 9 NS SF=0: "Not Sign" A P,PE PF=1: "Parity", "Parity Even" B NP,PO PF=0: "Not Parity", "Parity Odd" C L,NGE SF≠OF: "Less", "Not Greater Or Equal" D NL,GE SF=OF: "Not Less", "Greater Or Equal" E LE,NG (ZF=1 or SF≠OF): "Less or Equal", "Not Greater" F NLE,G (ZF=0 and SF=OF): "Not Less or Equal", "Greater" - ↑ In 64-bit mode,
CMOVcc
with a 32-bit operand size will clear the upper 32 bits of the destination register even if the condition is false.
ForCMOVcc
with a memory source operand, the CPU will always read the operand from memory – potentially causing memory exceptions and cache line-fills – even if the condition for the move is not satisfied. (The Intel APX extension defines an EVEX-encoded variant ofCMOVcc
that will suppress memory exceptions if the condition is false.) - ↑ Unlike other instructions added in Pentium Pro, long NOP does not have a CPUID feature bit.
- ↑
0F 1F /0
as long-NOP was introduced in the Pentium Pro, but remained undocumented until 2006.[51] The whole0F 18..1F
opcode range wasNOP
in Pentium Pro. However, except for0F 1F /0
, Intel does not guarantee that these opcodes will remainNOP
in future processors, and have indeed assigned some of these opcodes to other instructions in at least some processors.[52] - ↑ Documented for AMD x86-64 since 2002.[53]
- ↑ While the
0F 0B
opcode was officially reserved as an invalid opcode from Pentium onwards, it only got assigned the mnemonicUD2
from Pentium Pro onwards.[54] - ↑ 23.0 23.1 GNU Binutils have used the
UD2A
andUD2B
mnemonics for the0F 0B
and0F B9
opcodes since version 2.7.[55]
NeitherUD2A
norUD2B
originally took any arguments -UD2B
was later modified to accept a ModR/M byte, in Binutils version 2.30.[56] - ↑ 24.0 24.1 The UD0/1/2 opcodes -
0F 0B
,0F B9
and0F FF
- will cause an #UD exception on all x86 processors from the 80186 onwards (except NEC V-series processors), but did not get explicitly reserved for this purpose until P5-class processors. - ↑ While the
0F B9
opcode was officially reserved as an invalid opcode from Pentium onwards, it only got assigned its mnemonicUD1
much later – AMD APM started listingUD1
in its opcode maps from rev 3.17 onwards,[58] while Intel SDM started listing it from rev 061 onwards.[59] - ↑ 26.0 26.1 For both the
0F B9
and0F FF
opcodes, different x86 implementations are known to differ regarding whether the opcodes accept a ModR/M byte.[60][61] - ↑ For the
0F FF
opcode, theOIO
mnemonic was introduced by Cyrix,[62] while theUD0
menmonic (without arguments) was introduced by AMD and Intel at the same time as theUD1
mnemonic for0F B9
.[58][59] Later Intel (but not AMD) documentation modified its description ofUD0
to add a ModR/M byte and take two arguments.[63] - ↑ On K6, the
SYSCALL
/SYSRET
instructions were available on Model 7 (250nm "Little Foot") and later, not on the earlier Model 6.[65] - ↑
SYSCALL
andSYSRET
were made an integral part of x86-64 – as a result, the instructions are available in 64-bit mode on all x86-64 processors from AMD, Intel, VIA and Zhaoxin.
Outside 64-bit mode, the instructions are available on AMD processors only. - ↑ The exact semantics of
SYSRET
differs slightly between AMD and Intel processors: non-canonical return addresses cause a #GP exception to be thrown in Ring 3 on AMD CPUs but Ring 0 on Intel CPUs. This has been known to cause security issues.[66] - ↑ 31.0 31.1 For the
SYSRET
andSYSEXIT
instructions under x86-64, it is necessary to add theREX.W
prefix for variants that will return to 64-bit user-mode code.
Encodings of these instructions without theREX.W
prefix are used to return to 32-bit user-mode code. (Neither of these instructions can be used to return to 16-bit user-mode code.) - ↑ 32.0 32.1 32.2 The
SYSRET
,SYSENTER
andSYSEXIT
instructions are unavailable in Real mode. (SYSENTER
is, however, available in Virtual 8086 mode.) - ↑ The
CPUID
flags that indicate support forSYSENTER
/SYSEXIT
are set on the Pentium Pro, even though the processor does not officially support these instructions.[67]
Third party testing indicates that the opcodes are present on the Pentium Pro but too buggy to be usable.[68] - ↑ On AMD CPUs, the
SYSENTER
andSYSEXIT
instructions are not available in x86-64 long mode (#UD). - ↑ On Transmeta CPUs, the
SYSENTER
andSYSEXIT
instructions are only available with version 4.2 or higher of the Transmeta Code Morphing software.[70] - ↑ On Nehemiah,
SYSENTER
andSYSEXIT
are available only on stepping 8 and later.[71]
Added as instruction set extensions
Added with x86-64
These instructions can only be encoded in 64 bit mode. They fall in four groups:
- original instructions that reuse existing opcodes for a different purpose (
MOVSXD
replacingARPL
) - original instructions with new opcodes (
SWAPGS
) - existing instructions extended to a 64 bit address size (
JRCXZ
) - existing instructions extended to a 64 bit operand size (remaining instructions)
Most instructions with a 64 bit operand size encode this using a REX.W
prefix; in the absence of the REX.W
prefix,
the corresponding instruction with 32 bit operand size is encoded. This mechanism also applies to most other instructions with 32 bit operand
size. These are not listed here as they do not gain a new mnemonic in Intel syntax when used with a 64 bit operand size.

- ↑ The memory operand to
CMPXCHG16B
must be 16-byte aligned. - ↑ The
CMPXCHG16B
instruction was absent from a few of the earliest Intel/AMD x86-64 processors. On Intel processors, the instruction was missing from Xeon "Nocona" stepping D,[72] but added in stepping E.[73] On AMD K8 family processors, it was added in stepping F, at the same time as DDR2 support was introduced.[74]
For this reason,CMPXCHG16B
has its own CPUID flag, separate from the rest of x86-64. - ↑ Encodings of
MOVSXD
without REX.W prefix are permitted but discouraged[75] – such encodings behave identically to 16/32-bitMOV
(8B /r
).
Bit manipulation extensions
Bit manipulation instructions. For all of the VEX-encoded instructions defined by BMI1 and BMI2, the operand size may be 32 or 64 bits, controlled by the VEX.W bit – none of these instructions are available in 16-bit variants.

- ↑ On AMD CPUs, the "ABM" extension provides both
POPCNT
andLZCNT
. On Intel CPUs, however, the CPUID bit for "ABM" is only documented to indicate the presence of theLZCNT
instruction and is listed as "LZCNT", whilePOPCNT
has its own separate CPUID feature bit.
However, all known processors that implement the "ABM"/"LZCNT" extensions also implementPOPCNT
and set the CPUID feature bit for POPCNT, so the distinction is theoretical only.
(The converse is not true – there exist processors that supportPOPCNT
but not ABM, such as Intel Nehalem and VIA Nano 3000.) - ↑ The
LZCNT
instruction will execute asBSR
on systems that do not support the LZCNT or ABM extensions.BSR
computes the index of the highest set bit in the source operand, producing a different result fromLZCNT
for most input values. - ↑ The
TZCNT
instruction will execute asBSF
on systems that do not support the BMI1 extension.BSF
produces the same result asTZCNT
for all input operand values except zero – for whichTZCNT
returns input operand size, butBSF
produces undefined behavior (leaves destination unmodified on most modern CPUs). - ↑ For
BEXTR
, the start position and length are not masked and can take values from 0 to 255. If the selected bits extend beyond the end of ther/m
argument (which has the usual 32/64-bit operand size), then the excess bits are read out as 0. - ↑ On AMD processors before Zen 3, the
PEXT
andPDEP
instructions are quite slow[76] and exhibit data-dependent timing due to the use of a microcoded implementation (about 18 to 300 cycles, depending on the number of bits set in the mask argument). As a result, it is often faster to use other instruction sequences on these processors.[77][78]

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 AMD Athlon processors prior to the Athlon XP did not support full SSE, but did introduce the non-SIMD instructions of SSE as part of "MMX Extensions".[82] These extensions (without full SSE) are also present on Geode GX2 and later Geode processors.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 All of the
PREFETCH*
instructions are hint instructions with effects only on performance, not program semantics. Providing an invalid address (e.g. address of an unmapped page or a non-canonical address) will cause the instruction to act as a NOP without any exceptions generated. - ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 For the
SFENCE
,LFENCE
andMFENCE
instructions, the bottom 3 bits of the ModR/M byte are ignored, and any value of x in the range 0..7 will result in a valid instruction. - ↑ The
SFENCE
instruction ensures that all memory stores after theSFENCE
instruction are made globally observable after all memory stores before theSFENCE
. This imposes ordering on stores that can otherwise be reordered, such as non-temporal stores and stores to WC (Write-Combining) memory regions.[83]
On Intel CPUs, as well as AMD CPUs from Zen1 onwards (but not older AMD CPUs),SFENCE
also acts as a reordering barrier on cache flushes/writebacks performed with theCLFLUSH
,CLFLUSHOPT
andCLWB
instructions. (Older AMD CPUs requireMFENCE
to orderCLFLUSH
.)SFENCE
is not ordered with respect toLFENCE
, and anSFENCE+LFENCE
sequence is not sufficient to prevent a load from being reordered past a previous store.[84] To prevent such reordering, it is necessary to execute anMFENCE
,LOCK
or a serializing instruction. - ↑ The
LFENCE
instruction ensures that all memory loads after theLFENCE
instruction are made globally observable after all memory loads before theLFENCE
.
On all Intel CPUs that support SSE2, theLFENCE
instruction provides a stronger ordering guarantee:[85] it is dispatch-serializing, meaning that instructions after theLFENCE
instruction are allowed to start executing only after all instructions before it have retired (which will ensure that all preceding loads but not necessarily stores have completed). The effect of dispatch-serialization is thatLFENCE
also acts as a speculation barrier and a reordering barrier for accesses to non-memory resources such as performance counters (accessed through e.g.RDTSC
orRDPMC
) and x2apic MSRs.
On AMD CPUs,LFENCE
is not necessarily dispatch-serializing by default – however, on all AMD CPUs that support any form of non-dispatch-serializingLFENCE
, it can be made dispatch-serializing by setting bit 1 of MSRC001_1029
.[86] - ↑ The
MFENCE
instruction ensures that all memory loads, stores and cacheline-flushes after theMFENCE
instruction are made globally observable after all memory loads, stores and cacheline-flushes before theMFENCE
.
On Intel CPUs,MFENCE
is not dispatch-serializing, and therefore cannot be used to enforce ordering on accesses to non-memory resources such as performance counters and x2apic MSRs.MFENCE
is still ordered with respect toLFENCE
, so if a memory barrier with dispatch serialization is needed, then it can be obtained by issuing anMFENCE
followed by anLFENCE
.[45]
On AMD CPUs,MFENCE
is serializing. - ↑ The operation of the
PAUSE
instruction in 64-bit mode is, unlikeNOP
, unaffected by the presence of theREX.R
prefix. NeitherNOP
norPAUSE
are affected by the other bits of theREX
prefix. A few examples of opcode90
with various prefixes in 64-bit mode are:90
isNOP
41 90
isXCHG R8D,EAX
4E 90
isNOP
49 90
isXCHG R8,RAX
F3 90
isPAUSE
F3 41 90
isPAUSE
F3 4F 90
isPAUSE
- ↑ The actual length of the pause performed by the
PAUSE
instruction is implementation-dependent.
On systems without SSE2,PAUSE
will execute as NOP. - ↑ Under VT-x or AMD-V virtualization, executing
PAUSE
many times in a short time interval may cause a #VMEXIT. The number ofPAUSE
executions and interval length that can trigger #VMEXIT are platform-specific. - ↑ While the
CLFLUSH
instruction was introduced together with SSE2, it has its own CPUID flag and may be present on processors not otherwise implementing SSE2 and/or absent from processors that otherwise implement SSE2. (E.g. AMD Geode LX supportsCLFLUSH
but not SSE2.) - ↑ While the
MONITOR
andMWAIT
instructions were introduced at the same time as SSE3, they have their own CPUID flag that needs to be checked separately from the SSE3 CPUID flag (e.g. Athlon64 X2 and VIA C7 supported SSE3 but not MONITOR.) - ↑ 12.0 12.1 For the
MONITOR
andMWAIT
instructions, older Intel documentation[87] lists instruction mnemonics with explicit operands (MONITOR EAX,ECX,EDX
andMWAIT EAX,ECX
), while newer documentation omits these operands. Assemblers/disassemblers may support one or both of these variants.[88] - ↑ For
MONITOR
, the DS: segment can be overridden with a segment prefix.
The memory area that will be monitored will be not just the single byte specified by DS:rAX, but a linear memory region containing the byte – the size and alignment of this memory region is implementation-dependent and can be queried through CPUID.
The memory location to monitor should have memory type WB (write-back cacheable), or else monitoring may fail. - ↑ As of March 2023, no extensions or hints have been defined for the
MONITOR
instruction. As such, the instruction requires ECX=0 and ignores EDX. - ↑ On some processors, such as Intel Xeon Phi x200[89] and AMD K10[90] and later, there exist documented MSRs that can be used to enable
MONITOR
andMWAIT
to run in Ring 3. - ↑ The wait performed by
MWAIT
may be ended by system events other than a memory write (e.g. cacheline evictions, interrupts) – the exact set of events that can cause the wait to end is implementation-specific.
Regardless of whether the wait was ended by a memory write or some other event, monitoring will have ended and it will be necessary to set up monitoring again withMONITOR
before performing any furtherMWAIT
s. - ↑ The extension flags available for
MWAIT
in the ECX register are:Bits MWAIT Extension 0 Treat interrupts as break events, even when masked (EFLAGS.IF=0). (Available on all non-NetBurst implementations of MWAIT
.)1 Timed MWAIT: end the wait when the TSC reaches or exceeds the value in EDX:EBX. (Undocumented, reportedly present in Intel Skylake and later Intel processors)[91] 31:2 Not used, must be set to zero. - ↑ The hint flags available for
MWAIT
in the EAX register are:Bits MWAIT Hint 3:0 Sub-state within a C-state (see bits 7:4) (Intel processors only) 7:4 Target CPU power C-state during wait, minus 1. (E.g. 0000b for C1, 0001b for C2, 1111b for C0) 31:8 Not used. The C-states are processor-specific power states, which do not necessarily correspond 1:1 to ACPI C-states.
- ↑ For the
GETSEC
instruction, theREX.W
prefix enables 64-bit addresses for the EXITAC leaf function only - REX prefixes are otherwise permitted but ignored for the instruction. - ↑ The leaf functions defined for
GETSEC
(selected by EAX) are:EAX Function 0 (CAPABILITIES) Report SMX capabilities 2 (ENTERACCES) Enter execution of authenticated code module 3 (EXITAC) Exit execution of authenticated code module 4 (SENTER) Enter measured environment 5 (SEXIT) Exit measured environment 6 (PARAMETERS) Report SMX parameters 7 (SMCTRL) SMX Mode Control 8 (WAKEUP) Wake up sleeping processors in measured environment Any unsupported value in EAX causes an #UD exception.
- ↑ For
GETSEC
, most leaf functions are restricted to Ring 0, but the CAPABILITIES (EAX=0) and PARAMETERS (EAX=6) leaf functions are available in Ring 3. - ↑ XSAVE was added in steppings E0/R0 of Penryn and is not available in earlier steppings.
- ↑ On some processors (starting with Skylake, Goldmont and Zen 1), executing
XGETBV
with ECX=1 is permitted – this will not returnXCR1
(no such register exists) but instead returnXCR0
bitwise-ANDed with the current value of the "XINUSE" state-component bitmap (a bitmap of XSAVE state-components that are not known to be in their initial state).
The presence of this functionality ofXGETBV
is indicated by CPUID.(EAX=0Dh,ECX=1):EAX[bit 2]. - ↑ 24.0 24.1 The "core ID" value read by
RDTSCP
andRDPID
is actually theTSC_AUX
MSR (MSRC000_0103h
). Whether this value actually corresponds to a processor ID is a matter of operating system convention. - ↑ Unlike the older
RDTSC
instruction,RDTSCP
will delay the TSC read until all previous instructions have retired, guaranteeing ordering with respect to preceding memory loads (but not stores).RDTSCP
is not ordered with respect to subsequent instructions, though. - ↑
RDTSCP
can be run outside Ring 0 only ifCR4.TSD=0
. - ↑ Support for
RDTSCP
was added in stepping F of the AMD K8, and is not available on earlier steppings. - ↑ While the
POPCNT
instruction was introduced at the same time as SSE4.2, it is not considered to be a part of SSE4.2, but instead a separate extension with its own CPUID flag.
On AMD processors, it is considered to be a part of the ABM extension, but still has its own CPUID flag. - ↑ The invalidation types defined for
INVPCID
(selected by register argument) are:Value Function 0 Invalidate TLB entries matching PCID and virtual memory address in descriptor, excluding global entries 1 Invalidate TLB entries matching PCID in descriptor, excluding global entries 2 Invalidate all TLB entries, including global entries 3 Invalidate all TLB entries, excluding global entries Any unsupported value in the register argument causes a #GP exception.
- ↑ Unlike the older
INVLPG
instruction,INVPCID
will cause a #GP exception if the provided memory address is non-canonical. This discrepancy has been known to cause security issues.[93] - ↑ The
PREFETCH
andPREFETCHW
instructions are mandatory parts of the 3DNow! instruction set extension, but are also available as a standalone extension on systems that do not support 3DNow! - ↑ The opcodes for
PREFETCH
andPREFETCHW
(0F 0D /r
) execute as NOPs on Intel CPUs from Cedar Mill (65nm Pentium 4) onwards, withPREFETCHW
gaining prefetch functionality from Broadwell onwards. - ↑ The
PREFETCH
(0F 0D /0
) instruction is a 3DNow! instruction, present on all processors with 3DNow! but not necessarily on processors with the PREFETCHW extension.
On AMD CPUs with PREFETCHW, opcode0F 0D /0
as well as opcodes0F 0D /2../7
are all documented to be performing prefetch.
On Intel processors with PREFETCHW, these opcodes are documented as performing reserved-NOPs[94] (except0F 0D /2
beingPREFETCHWT1 m8
on Xeon Phi only) – third party testing[95] indicates that some or all of these opcodes may be performing prefetch on at least some Intel Core CPUs. - ↑ 34.0 34.1 34.2 The SMAP, PKU and RDPID instruction set extensions are supported on stepping 2[96] and later of Zhaoxin LuJiaZui, but not on earlier steppings.
- ↑ Unlike the older
RDTSCP
instruction which can also be used to read the processor ID, user-modeRDPID
is not disabled byCR4.TSD=1
. - ↑ The
WBNOINVD
instruction will execute asWBINVD
if run on a system that doesn't support the WBNOINVD extension.WBINVD
differs fromWBNOINVD
in thatWBINVD
will invalidate all cache lines after writeback.

, the write to the Processor Trace Packet will only happen if a set of enable-bits (the "TriggerEn", "ContextEn", "FilterEn" bits of theRTIT_STATUS
MSR and the "PTWEn" bit of theRTIT_CTL
MSR) are all set to 1.
ThePTWRITE
instruction is indicated in the SDM to cause an #UD exception if the 66h instruction prefix is used, regardless of other prefixes. - ↑ For
MOVDIR64
, the destination address given by ES:reg must be 64-byte aligned.
The operand size for the register argument is given by the address size, which may be overridden by the67h
prefix.
The 64-byte memory source argument does not need to be 64-byte aligned, and is not guaranteed to be read atomically. - ↑ The leaf functions defined for

- ↑ For
CLDEMOTE
, the cache level that it will demote a cache line to is implementation-dependent.
Since the instruction is considered a hint, it will execute as a NOP without any exceptions if the provided memory address is invalid or not in the L1 cache. It may also execute as a NOP under other implementation-dependent circumstances as well.
On systems that do not support the CLDEMOTE extension, it executes as a NOP. - ↑ Intel documentation lists Tremont and Alder Lake as the processors in which CLDEMOTE was introduced. However, as of May 2022, no Tremont or Alder Lake models have been observed to have the CPUID feature bit for CLDEMOTE set, while several of them have the CPUID bit cleared.[102]
As of April 2023, the CPUID feature bit for CLDEMOTE has been observed to be set for Sapphire Rapids.[103] - ↑ For

to 1 if it reached theIA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL
-defined time limit and 0 otherwise. - ↑
TPAUSE
andUMWAIT
can be run outside Ring 0 only ifCR4.TSD=0
. - ↑ While serialization can be performed with older instructions such as e.g.
CPUID
andIRET
, these instructions perform additional functions, causing side-effects and reduced performance when stand-alone instruction serialization is needed. (CPUID
additionally has the issue that it causes a mandatory #VMEXIT when executed under virtualization, which causes a very large overhead.) TheSERIALIZE
instruction performs serialization only, avoiding these added costs. - ↑ A bitmap of CPU history components that can be reset through
HRESET
is provided by CPUID.(EAX=20h,ECX=0):EBX.
As of July 2023, the following bits are defined:Bit Usage 0 Intel Thread Director history 31:1 (Reserved) - ↑ The register argument to

- ↑ The standard way to access the CR8 register is to use an encoding that makes use of the
REX.R
prefix, e.g.44 0F 20 07
(MOV RDI,CR8
). However, theREX.R
prefix is only available in 64-bit mode.
The AltMovCr8 extension adds an additional method to access CR8, using theF0
(LOCK
) prefix instead ofREX.R
– this provides access to CR8 outside 64-bit mode. - ↑ 2.0 2.1 Like other variants of MOV to/from the CRx registers, the AltMovCr8 encodings ignore the top 2 bits of the instruction's ModR/M byte, and always execute as if these two bits are set to
11b
.
The AltMovCr8 encodings are available in 64-bit mode. However, combining theLOCK
prefix with theREX.R
prefix is not permitted and will cause an #UD exception. - ↑ Support for AltMovCR8 was added in stepping F of the AMD K8, and is not available on earlier steppings.
- ↑ For
CLZERO
, the address size and 67h prefix control whether to use AX, EAX or RAX as address. The default segment DS: can be overridden by a segment-override prefix. The provided address does not need to be aligned – hardware will align it as necessary.
TheCLZERO
instruction is intended for recovery from otherwise-fatal Machine Check errors. It is non-cacheable, cannot be used to allocate a cache line without a memory access, and should not be used for fast memory clears.[104] - ↑ The register numbering used by
RDPRU
does not necessarily match that ofRDMSR
/WRMSR
.
The registers supported byRDPRU
as of December 2022 are:ECX Register 0 MPERF (MSR 0E7h: Maximum Performance Frequency Clock Count) 1 APERF (MSR 0E8h: Actual Performance Frequency Clock Count) Unsupported values in ECX return 0.
- ↑ If
CR4.TSD=1
, then theRDPRU
instruction can only run in ring 0.
x87 floating-point instructions
The x87 coprocessor, if present, provides support for floating-point arithmetic. The coprocessor provides eight data registers, each holding one 80-bit floating-point value (1 sign bit, 15 exponent bits, 64 mantissa bits) – these registers are organized as a stack, with the top-of-stack register referred to as "st" or "st(0)", and the other registers referred to as st(1),st(2),...st(7). It additionally provides a number of control and status registers, including "PC" (precision control, to control whether floating-point operations should be rounded to 24, 53 or 64 mantissa bits) and "RC" (rounding control, to pick rounding-mode: round-to-zero, round-to-positive-infinity, round-to-negative-infinity, round-to-nearest-even) and a 4-bit condition code register "CC", whose four bits are individually referred to as C0,C1,C2 and C3). Not all of the arithmetic instructions provided by x87 obey PC and RC.

- ↑ x87 coprocessors (other than the 8087) handle exceptions in a fairly unusual way. When an x87 instruction generates an unmasked arithmetic exception, it will still complete without causing a CPU fault – instead of causing a fault, it will record within the coprocessor information needed to handle the exception (instruction pointer, opcode, data pointer if the instruction had a memory operand) and set FPU status-word flag to indicate that a pending exception is present. This pending exception will then cause a CPU fault when the next x87, MMX or
WAIT
instruction is executed.
The exception to this is x87's "Non-Waiting" instructions, which will execute without causing such a fault even if a pending exception is present (with some caveats, see application note AP-578[105]). These instructions are mostly control instructions that can inspect and/or modify the pending-exception state of the x87 FPU. - ↑ For each non-waiting x87 instruction whose mnemonic begins with
FN
, there exists a pseudo-instruction that has the same mnemonic except without the N. These pseudo-instructions consist of aWAIT
instruction (opcode9B
) followed by the corresponding non-waiting x87 instruction. For example:FNCLEX
is an instruction with the opcodeDB E2
. The corresponding pseudo-instructionFCLEX
is then encoded as9B DB E2
.FNSAVE ES:[BX+6]
is an instruction with the opcode26 DD 77 06
. The corresponding pseudo-instructionFSAVE ES:[BX+6]
is then encoded as9B 26 DD 77 06
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 On 80387 and later x87 FPUs,
FLDENV
,F(N)STENV
,FRSTOR
andF(N)SAVE
exist in 16-bit and 32-bit variants. The 16-bit variants will load/store a 14-byte floating-point environment data structure to/from memory – the 32-bit variants will load/store a 28-byte data structure instead. (F(N)SAVE
/FRSTOR
will additionally load/store an additional 80 bytes of FPU data register content after the FPU environment, for a total of 94 or 108 bytes). The choice between the 16-bit and 32-bit variants is based on theCS.D
bit and the presence of the66h
instruction prefix. On 8087 and 80287, only the 16-bit variants are available.
64-bit variants of these instructions do not exist – usingREX.W
under x86-64 will cause the 32-bit variants to be used. Since these can only load/store the bottom 32 bits of FIP and FDP, it is recommended to useFXSAVE64
/FXRSTOR64
instead if 64-bit operation is desired. - ↑ 4.0 4.1 In the case of an x87 instruction producing an unmasked FPU exception, the 8087 FPU will signal an IRQ some indeterminate time after the instruction was issued. This may not always be possible to handle,[106] and so the FPU offers the
F(N)DISI
andF(N)ENI
instructions to set/clear the Interrupt Mask bit (bit 7) of the x87 Control Word,[107] to control the interrupt.
Later x87 FPUs, from 80287 onwards, changed the FPU exception mechanism to instead produce a CPU exception on the next x87 instruction. This made the Interrupt Mask bit unnecessary, so it was removed.[108] In later Intel x87 FPUs, theF(N)ENI
andF(N)DISI
instructions were kept for backwards compatibility, executing as NOPs that do not modify any x87 state. - ↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2
FST
/FSTP
with an 80-bit destination (m80 or st(i)) and an sNaN source value will produce exceptions on AMD but not Intel FPUs. - ↑
FSTP ST(0)
is a commonly used idiom for popping a single register off the x87 register stack. - ↑ 7.0 7.1 7.2 7.3 7.4 7.5 7.6 7.7 7.8 Intel x87 alias opcode. Use of this opcode is not recommended.
On the Intel 8087 coprocessor, several reserved opcodes would perform operations behaving similarly to existing defined x87 instructions. These opcodes were documented for the 8087[109] and 80287,[110] but then omitted from later manuals until the October 2017 update of the Intel SDM.[111]
They are present on all known Intel x87 FPUs but unavailable on some older non-Intel FPUs, such as AMD Geode GX/LX, DM&P Vortex86[112] and NexGen 586PF.[113] - ↑ 8.0 8.1 On the 8087 and 80287,
FBSTP
and the load-constant instructions always use the round-to-nearest rounding mode. On the 80387 and later x87 FPUs, these instructions will use the rounding mode specified in the x87 RC register. - ↑ 9.0 9.1 9.2 9.3 9.4 9.5 9.6 9.7 9.8 For the
FADDP
,FSUBP
,FSUBRP
,FMULP
,FDIVP
,FDIVRP
,FCOM
,FCOMP
andFXCH
instructions, x86 assemblers/disassemblers may recognize variants of the instructions with no arguments. Such variants are equivalent to variants using st(1) as their first argument. - ↑ On Intel Pentium and later processors,
FXCH
is implemented as a register renaming rather than a true data move. This has no semantic effect, but enables zero-cycle-latency operation. It also allows the instruction to break data dependencies for the x87 top-of-stack value, improving attainable performance for code optimized for these processors. - ↑ The result of executing the
FBLD
instruction on non-BCD data is undefined. - ↑ On early Intel Pentium processors, floating-point divide was subject to the Pentium FDIV bug. This also affected instructions that perform divide as part of their operations, such as
FPREM
andFPATAN
.[114] - ↑ The
FXAM
instruction will set C0, C2 and C3 based on value type in st(0) as follows:C3 C2 C0 Classification 0 0 0 Unsupported (unnormal or pseudo-NaN) 0 0 1 NaN 0 1 0 Normal finite number 0 1 1 Infinity 1 0 0 Zero 1 0 1 Empty 1 1 0 Denormal number 1 1 1 Empty (may occur on 8087/80287 only) C1 is set to the sign-bit of st(0), regardless of whether st(0) is Empty or not.
- ↑ For
FXTRACT
, if st(0) is zero or ±∞, then M is set equal to st(0). If st(0) is zero, E is set to 0 on 8087/80287 but -∞ on 80387 and later. If st(0) is ±∞, then E is set to +∞. - ↑ For
FPREM
, if the quotient Q is larger than [math]\displaystyle{ 2^{63} }[/math], then the remainder calculation may have been done only partially – in this case, theFPREM
instruction will need to be run again in order to complete the remainder calculation. This is indicated by the instruction settingC2
to 1.
If the instruction did complete the remainder calculation, it will setC2
to 0 and set the three bits{C0,C3,C1}
to the bottom three bits of the quotient Q.
On 80387 and later, if the instruction didn't complete the remainder calculation, then the computed remainder Q used for argument reduction will have been rounded to a multiple of 8 (or larger power-of-2), so that the bottom 3 bits of the quotient can still be correctly retrieved in a later pass that does complete the remainder calculation. - ↑ The remainder computation done by the
FPREM
instruction is always exact with no roundoff errors. - ↑ For the
FSCALE
instruction on 8087 and 80287, st(1) is required to be in the range [math]\displaystyle{ -2^{15}\leq st(1)\lt 2^{15} }[/math]. Also, its absolute value must be either 0 or at least 1. If these requirements are not satisfied, the result is undefined.
These restrictions were removed in the 80387. - ↑ For
FSCALE
, rounding is only applied in the case of overflow, underflow or subnormal result. - ↑ The x87 transcendental instructions do not obey PC or RC, but instead compute full 80-bit results. These results are not necessarily correctly rounded (see Table-maker's dilemma) – they may have an error of up to ±1 ulp on Pentium or later, or up to ±1.5 ulps on earlier x87 coprocessors.
- ↑ 20.0 20.1 For the
FYL2X
andFYL2XP1
instructions, the maximum error bound of ±1 ulp only holds for st(1)=1.0 – for other values of st(1), the error bound is increased to ±1.35 ulps. - ↑ For
FPATAN
, the following adjustments are done as compared to just computing a one-argument arctangent of the ratio [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{st(1)}{st(0)} }[/math]:- If both st(0) and st(1) are ±∞, then the arctangent is computed as if each of st(0) and st(1) had been replaced with ±1 of the same sign. This produces a result that is an odd multiple of [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\pi}{4} }[/math].
- If both st(0) and st(1) are ±0, then the arctangent is computed as if st(0) but not st(1) had been replaced with ±1 of the same sign, producing a result of ±0 or [math]\displaystyle{ \pm\pi }[/math].
- If st(0) is negative (has sign bit set), then an addend of [math]\displaystyle{ \pm\pi }[/math] with the same sign as st(1) is added to the result.
- ↑ While
FNOP
is a no-op in the sense that will leave the x87 FPU register stack unmodified, it may still modify FIP and CC, and it may fault if a pending x87 FPU exception is present.

- ↑ The x87 FPU needs to know whether it is operating in Real Mode or Protected Mode because the floating-point environment accessed by the
F(N)SAVE
,FRSTOR
,FLDENV
andF(N)STENV
instructions has different formats in Real Mode and Protected Mode. On 80287, theF(N)SETPM
instruction is required to communicate the real-to-protected mode transition to the FPU. On 80387 and later x87 FPUs, real↔protected mode transitions are communicated automatically to the FPU without the need for any dedicated instructions – therefore, on these FPUs,FNSETPM
executes as a NOP that does not modify any FPU state. - ↑ Not including discontinued instructions specific to particular 80387-compatible FPU models.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 For the
FUCOM
andFUCOMP
instructions, x86 assemblers/disassemblers may recognize variants of the instructions with no arguments. Such variants are equivalent to variants using st(1) as their first argument. - ↑ The 80387
FPREM1
instruction differs from the olderFPREM
(D9 F8
) instruction in that the quotient Q is rounded to integer with round-to-nearest-even rounding rather than the round-to-zero rounding used byFPREM
. LikeFPREM
,FPREM1
always computes an exact result with no roundoff errors. LikeFPREM
, it may also perform a partial computation if the quotient is too large, in which case it must be run again. - ↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 Due to the x87 FPU performing argument reduction for sin/cos with only about 68 bits of precision, the value of k used in the calculation of
FSIN
,FCOS
andFSINCOS
is not precisely 1.0, but instead given by[115][116][math]\displaystyle{ k {{=}} \frac{2^{66} * \pi}{\lfloor 2^{66} * \pi \rfloor} \approx 1.0000000000000000000012874 }[/math]This argument reduction inaccuracy also affects theFPTAN
instruction. - ↑ The
FCOMI
,FCOMIP
,FUCOMI
andFUCOMIP
instructions write their results to theZF
,CF
andPF
bits of theEFLAGS
register. On Intel but not AMD processors, theSF
,AF
andOF
bits ofEFLAGS
are also zeroed out by these instructions. - ↑ The
FXSAVE
andFXRSTOR
instructions were added in the "Deschutes" revision of Pentium II, and are not present in earlier "Klamath" revision.
They are also present in AMD K7.
They are also considered an integral part of SSE and are therefore present in all processors with SSE. - ↑ 8.0 8.1 The
FXSAVE
andFXRSTOR
instructions will save/restore SSE state only on processors that support SSE. Otherwise, they will only save/restore x87 and MMX state.
The x87 section of the state saved/restored byFXSAVE
/FXRSTOR
has a completely different layout than the data structure of the olderF(N)SAVE
/FRSTOR
instructions, enabling faster save/restore by avoiding misaligned loads and stores. - ↑ 9.0 9.1 When floating-point emulation is enabled with
CR0.EM=1
,FXSAVE(64)
andFXRSTOR(64)
are considered to be x87 instructions and will accordingly produce an #NM (device-not-available) exception. Other thanWAIT
, these are the only opcodes outside theD8..DF
ESC opcode space that exhibit this behavior. (All opcodes inD8..DF
will produce #NM ifCR0.EM=1
, even for undefined opcodes that would produce #UD otherwise.) - ↑ Unlike the older
F(N)SAVE
instruction,FXSAVE
will not initialize the FPU after saving its state to memory, but instead leave the x87 coprocessor state unmodified.

AVX
AVX were first supported by Intel with Sandy Bridge and by AMD with Bulldozer.
Vector operations on 256 bit registers.
Instruction | Description |
---|---|
VBROADCASTSS | Copy a 32-bit, 64-bit or 128-bit memory operand to all elements of a XMM or YMM vector register. |
VBROADCASTSD | |
VBROADCASTF128 | |
VINSERTF128 | Replaces either the lower half or the upper half of a 256-bit YMM register with the value of a 128-bit source operand. The other half of the destination is unchanged. |
VEXTRACTF128 | Extracts either the lower half or the upper half of a 256-bit YMM register and copies the value to a 128-bit destination operand. |
VMASKMOVPS | Conditionally reads any number of elements from a SIMD vector memory operand into a destination register, leaving the remaining vector elements unread and setting the corresponding elements in the destination register to zero. Alternatively, conditionally writes any number of elements from a SIMD vector register operand to a vector memory operand, leaving the remaining elements of the memory operand unchanged. On the AMD Jaguar processor architecture, this instruction with a memory source operand takes more than 300 clock cycles when the mask is zero, in which case the instruction should do nothing. This appears to be a design flaw.[118] |
VMASKMOVPD | |
VPERMILPS | Permute In-Lane. Shuffle the 32-bit or 64-bit vector elements of one input operand. These are in-lane 256-bit instructions, meaning that they operate on all 256 bits with two separate 128-bit shuffles, so they can not shuffle across the 128-bit lanes.[119] |
VPERMILPD | |
VPERM2F128 | Shuffle the four 128-bit vector elements of two 256-bit source operands into a 256-bit destination operand, with an immediate constant as selector. |

FMA3 and FMA4 instructions
Floating-point fused multiply-add instructions are introduced in x86 as two instruction set extensions, "FMA3" and "FMA4", both of which build on top of AVX to provide a set of scalar/vector instructions using the xmm/ymm/zmm vector registers. FMA3 defines a set of 3-operand fused-multiply-add instructions that take three input operands and writes its result back to the first of them. FMA4 defines a set of 4-operand fused-multiply-add instructions that take four input operands – a destination operand and three source operands.
FMA3 is supported on Intel CPUs starting with Haswell, on AMD CPUs starting with Piledriver, and on Zhaoxin CPUs starting with YongFeng. FMA4 was only supported on AMD Family 15h (Bulldozer) CPUs and has been abandoned from AMD Zen onwards. The FMA3/FMA4 extensions are not considered to be an intrinsic part of AVX or AVX2, although all Intel and AMD (but not Zhaoxin) processors that support AVX2 also support FMA3. FMA3 instructions (in EVEX-encoded form) are, however, AVX-512 foundation instructions.
The FMA3 and FMA4 instruction sets both define a set of 10 fused-multiply-add operations, all available in FP32 and FP64 variants. For each of these variants, FMA3 defines three operand orderings while FMA4 defines two.
FMA3 encoding
FMA3 instructions are encoded with the VEX or EVEX prefixes – on the form VEX.66.0F38 xy /r
or EVEX.66.0F38 xy /r
. The VEX.W/EVEX.W bit selects floating-point format (W=0 means FP32, W=1 means FP64). The opcode byte xy
consists of two nibbles, where the top nibble x
selects operand ordering (9
='132', A
='213', B
='231') and the bottom nibble y
(values 6..F) selects which one of the 10 fused-multiply-add operations to perform. (x
and y
outside the given ranges will result in something that is not an FMA3 instruction.)
At the assembly language level, the operand ordering is specified in the mnemonic of the instruction:
vfmadd132sd xmm1,xmm2,xmm3
will performxmm1 ← (xmm1*xmm3)+xmm2
vfmadd213sd xmm1,xmm2,xmm3
will performxmm1 ← (xmm2*xmm1)+xmm3
vfmadd231sd xmm1,xmm2,xmm3
will performxmm1 ← (xmm2*xmm3)+xmm1
For all FMA3 variants, the first two arguments must be xmm/ymm/zmm vector register arguments, while the last argument may be either a vector register or memory argument. Under AVX-512, the EVEX-encoded variants support EVEX-prefix-encoded broadcast, opmasks and rounding-controls.
The AVX512-FP16 extension, introduced in Sapphire Rapids, adds FP16 variants of the FMA3 instructions – these all take the form EVEX.66.MAP6.W0 xy /r
with the opcode byte working in the same way as for the FP32/FP64 variants. (For the FMA4 instructions, no FP16 variants are defined.)
FMA4 encoding
FMA4 instructions are encoded with the VEX prefix, on the form VEX.66.0F3A xx /r ib
(no EVEX encodings are defined). The opcode byte xx
uses its bottom bit to select floating-point format (0=FP32, 1=FP64) and the remaining bits to select one of the 10 fused-multiply-add operations to perform.
For FMA4, operand ordering is controlled by the VEX.W bit. If VEX.W=0, then the third operand is the r/m operand specified by the instruction's ModR/M byte and the fourth operand is a register operand, specified by bits 7:4 of the ib (8-bit immediate) part of the instruction. If VEX.W=1, then these two operands are swapped. For example:
vfmaddsd xmm1,xmm2,[mem],xmm3
will performxmm1 ← (xmm2*[mem])+xmm3
and require a W=0 encoding.vfmaddsd xmm1,xmm2,xmm3,[mem]
will performxmm1 ← (xmm2*xmm3)+[mem]
and require a W=1 encoding.vfmaddsd xmm1,xmm2,xmm3,xmm4
will performxmm1 ← (xmm2*xmm3)+xmm4
and can be encoded with either W=0 or W=1.

AVX-512
AVX-512, introduced in 2014, adds 512-bit wide vector registers (extending the 256-bit registers, which become the new registers' lower halves) and doubles their count to 32; the new registers are thus named zmm0 through zmm31. It adds eight mask registers, named k0 through k7, which may be used to restrict operations to specific parts of a vector register. Unlike previous instruction set extensions, AVX-512 is implemented in several groups; only the foundation ("AVX-512F") extension is mandatory.[120] Most of the added instructions may also be used with the 256- and 128-bit registers.
AMX
Intel AMX adds eight new tile-registers, tmm0
-tmm7
, each holding a matrix, with a maximum capacity of 16 rows of 64 bytes per tile-register. It also adds a TILECFG
register to configure the sizes of the actual matrices held in each of the eight tile-registers, and a set of instructions to perform matrix multiplications on these registers.

These instructions, available in Tiger Lake and later Intel processors, are designed to enable encryption/decryption with an AES key without having access to any unencrypted copies of the key during the actual encryption/decryption process.
Instruction | Encoding | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
LOADIWKEY xmm1,xmm2
|
F3 0F 38 DC /r
|
Load internal wrapping key ("IWKey") from xmm1, xmm2 and XMM0. | The two explicit operands (which must be register operands) specify a 256-bit encryption key. The implicit operand in XMM0 specifies a 128-bit integrity key. EAX contains flags controlling operation of instruction.

VIA PadLock instructions
The VIA/Zhaoxin PadLock instructions are instructions designed to apply cryptographic primitives in bulk, similar to the 8086 repeated string instructions. As such, unless otherwise specified, they take, as applicable, pointers to source data in ES:rSI and destination data in ES:rDI, and a data-size or count in rCX. Like the old string instructions, they are all designed to be interruptible.

XSTORE
|
NFx 0F A7 C0
|
Store random bytes to ES:[rDI], and increment ES:rDI accordingly. XSTORE will store currently-available bytes, which may be from 0 to 8 bytes. REP XSTORE will write the number of random bytes specified by rCX, waiting for the random number generator when needed. EDX specifies a "quality factor".

ZhangJiang | |
CCS_ENCRYPT
|
F3 0F A7 F0
|
Encrypt/Decrypt data, using the SM4 cipher in various block modes. rCX contains the number of 16-byte blocks to encrypt/decrypt, rBX contains a pointer to an encryption key, rDX a pointer to an initialization vector for block modes that need it, and rAX contains a control word.[lower-alpha 5] |
- ↑ The control word for
REP XCRYPT*
is a 128-bit data structure with the following layout:Bits Usage 3:0 AES round count 4 Digest mode enable (ACE2 only) 5 1=allow data that is not 16-byte aligned (ACE2 only) 6 Cipher: 0=AES, 1=undefined 7 Key schedule: 0=compute (128bit key only), 1=load from memory 8 0=normal, 1=intermediate-result 9 0=encrypt, 1=decrypt 11:10 Key size: 00=128bit, 01=192bit, 10=256bit, 11=reserved 127:12 Reserved, set to 0 - ↑ ACE2 also adds extra features to the other
REP XCRYPT
instructions: a digest mode for the CBC and CFB instructions, and the ability to use input/output data that are not 16-byte aligned for the non-ECB instructions. - ↑ On VIA Nano and later processors, setting rAX to an all-1s value for the
REP XSHA*
instructions will enable an alternate operation mode, where rCX specifies the number of 64-byte blocks, and where the standard FIPS-180-2 length extension procedure at the end of the hash calculation is omitted. This makes for a variant more suitable for data streaming than the original EAX=0 variant.[123] This functionality also exists forCCS_HASH
.
- ↑ The data structure to
REP MONTMUL
contains six 32-bit elements, where the first one is a negated modular inverse of the bottom 32 bits of the modulus and the remaining 5 are pointers to various memory buffers:Offset Data item 0 Negated modular inverse 4 Pointer to first multiplicand 8 Pointer to second multiplicand 12 Pointer to result buffer 16 Pointer to modulus 20 Pointer to 32-byte scratchpad - ↑ The

REPNZ MOVS
|
F2 (A4..A5)
|
The behavior of the F2 prefix (REPNZ , REPNE ) when used with string instructions other than CMPS /SCAS is officially undefined, but there exists commercial software (e.g. the version of FDISK distributed with MS-DOS versions 3.30 to 6.22[140]) that rely on it to behave in the same way as the documented F3 (REP ) prefix.

REPNZ STOS
|
F2 (AA..AB)
| ||
REP RET
|
F3 C3
|
The use of the REP prefix with the RET instruction is not listed as supported in either the Intel SDM or the AMD APM. However, AMD's optimization guide for the AMD-K8 describes the F3 C3 encoding as a way to encode a two-byte RET instruction – this is the recommended workaround for an issue in the AMD-K8's branch predictor that can cause branch prediction to fail for some 1-byte RET instructions.[141] At least some versions of gcc are known to use this encoding.[142]
|
Executes as RET on all known x86 CPUs.

|
67 90
|
NOP with address-size override prefix. The use of the 67h prefix for instructions without memory operands is listed by the Intel SDM (vol 2, section 2.1.1) as "reserved", but it is used in Microsoft Windows 95 as a workaround for a bug in the B1 stepping of Intel 80386.[143][144]
|
Executes as NOP on 80386 and later.

DB E0 | FPU Enable Interrupts (8087) | Documented for the Intel 80287.[110]
Present on all Intel x87 FPUs from 80287 onwards. For FPUs other than the ones where they were introduced on (8087 for FENI/FDISI and 80287 for FSETPM), they act as NOPs. These instructions and their operation on modern CPUs are commonly mentioned in later Intel documentation, but with opcodes omitted and opcode table entries left blank (e.g. Intel SDM 325462-077, April 2022 mentions them twice without opcodes). The opcodes are, however, recognized by Intel XED.[186] |

"Reserved by Cyrix" opcodes | These opcodes are listed as reserved opcodes that will produce "unpredictable results" without generating exceptions on at least Cyrix 6x86,[187] 6x86MX, MII, MediaGX, and AMD Geode GX/LX.[188] (The documentation for these CPUs all list the same ten opcodes.)
Their actual operation is not known, nor is it known whether their operation is the same on all of these CPUs. |
