Forms
| Instruction | Encoding | Requires |
|---|---|---|
IN AL, imm8
IN_AL_IMMb | E4 ib | Base instruction set |
IN eAX, imm8
IN_OeAX_IMMb | E5 ib | Base instruction set |
IN AL, DX
IN_AL_DX | EC | Base instruction set |
IN eAX, DX
IN_OeAX_DX | ED | Base instruction set |
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 |
|---|---|---|
I86 | No CPUID bit: part of the base instruction set. | Every x86-64 processor in XED’s model |
