Instruction

POPF

Pops the flags from the stack, changing only those the privilege level allows; POPFQ, the 64-bit form, pops RFLAGS.

Forms

Every encoding of POPF that Intel XED knows, one row per XED instruction form (iform). How to read the notation.

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.

CPUID requirements and processors of the XED ISA sets above. Alternatives are separated by “or”; processors follow XED’s chip model, which covers AMD processors up to Zen 2.
