Data flow
Where the elements of the sources go, element 0 on the right; results that depend on a control value are drawn for an example. How to read.
Result quadwords 1 to 0: 0, a0.
Operation
What the forms do, in pseudocode that our tests run against results recorded on real processors. How to read.
xmm1.write(mm2.q[0]) # bits 127:64 zeroed
# bits 128 and up of the register are unchanged
# x87: TOP = 0, all tags validRun on AMD Zen 5 (EPYC 9645): 1 case.
Operands

Flags
None: XED records no flag that the forms test or change.
Attributes
What else XED records about the forms. How to read.
- All forms
- may abort a TSX transaction
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 |
|---|---|---|
SSE2 | SSE2 | Every x86-64 processor in XED’s model and Zen 3 to Zen 6 |
