Instruction
CLWB
Writes the cache line holding a byte of memory back if it was modified and may keep it cached, for example to make stores to persistent memory durable.

Forms
| Instruction | Encoding | Requires |
|---|---|---|
CLWB m8
CLWB_MEMmprefetch | 66 0F AE /6 | CLWB |
Intrinsics
The C intrinsics of Clang 23.1.2 that compile to CLWB, each with the form it compiles to and the Clang options it needs. The forms come from compiling every intrinsic and decoding the result with Intel XED; all intrinsics A–Z explains the method.
| Intrinsic | Compiles to |
|---|---|
_mm_clwb
void _mm_clwb(const void *__p) |
|
CPUID and processors
Each form belongs to an XED ISA set. A form can be used when the processor reports every CPUID bit of one of its ISA set's alternatives.
| ISA set | CPUID | Processors in XED |
|---|---|---|
CLWB | CLWB | Tiger Lake, Alder Lake, Arrow Lake, Panther Lake, Nova Lake, Skylake-SP, Cascade Lake, Cooper Lake, Ice Lake (server), Sapphire Rapids, Emerald Rapids, Granite Rapids, Diamond Rapids, Tremont, Snow Ridge, Sierra Forest, Clearwater Forest, Zen 2 |
