VEXTRACTI32X8 copies the low or high 256 bits of a ZMM register, chosen by bit 0 of the immediate, to a YMM register or to 32 bytes of memory, under a mask of doublewords. It exists only at 512 bits and needs AVX512DQ (or AVX10.1). Unmasked it gives the same result as VEXTRACTI64X4, which needs only AVX512F; the two differ in the element size of the mask, as VEXTRACTI32X4 and VEXTRACTI64X2 do for 128-bit blocks, whose pages cover the register and memory forms.
On Zen 5, vextracti32x8 ymm0{k1}, zmm31, 0B3h took the high half
(bit 0 of 0B3h is 1) and, with A0h in the low byte of K1, wrote only
doublewords 5 and 7 of YMM0, kept the other six and cleared the bits
from 256 up. The memory form,
vextracti32x8 [mem]{k2}, zmm0, 91h with C9h in K2, stored
doublewords 0, 3, 6 and 7 of the high half and left the rest of the
32 bytes untouched.
In compiled code
GCC 14 at -O2 with -march=x86-64-v4 begins the end of a reduction
over 32-bit elements with it: summing an int array leaves 16 partial
sums in a zmm register, and GCC adds VEXTRACTI32X8 of the high half
to the low half on ymm registers, then goes on with
VEXTRACTI32X4 as that page shows. For 64-bit elements it uses
VEXTRACTI64X4 instead, and with -mavx512f, which lacks AVX512DQ,
for 32-bit ones too. _mm512_extracti32x8_epi32(x, 1) is
VEXTRACTI32X8 in GCC and VEXTRACTF64X4 in
Clang 23, which keeps the integer name for masked forms such as
_mm512_mask_extracti32x8_epi32.
AMD’s Zen 5 latency spreadsheet gives VEXTRACTI32X8 four cycles to a register and five to memory, where it takes two macro-ops, at two per cycle, the same as VEXTRACTI64X4. Zen 5’s 2 recorded cases cover the register and memory forms.

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.
Example: imm8 = 0x01. The forms write under a mask: where its bit is 0, the element keeps its old value, or zeroes it with {z}.
With imm8 = 0x01, result doublewords 7 to 0: a15, unchanged (bit 6 of k1 is 0), a13, a12, a11, a10, a9, a8.

Operation
What the forms do, in pseudocode that our tests run against results recorded on real processors. How to read.
x = imm8 & 1 # the 256-bit block
for i in range(8):
if k1[i]:
ymm1.d[i] = zmm2.d[x * 8 + i]
elif zeroing:
ymm1.d[i] = 0
# else: ymm1.d[i] keeps its value
# ymm1 is zeroed from bit 256 upRun on AMD Zen 5 (EPYC 9645): 1 case.
x = imm8 & 1 # the 256-bit block
for i in range(8):

mem.d[i] = zmm2.d[x * 8 + i]
# else: mem.d[i] is not writtenRun on AMD Zen 5 (EPYC 9645): 1 case.

Intrinsics
The C intrinsics of Clang 23.1.2 that compile to VEXTRACTI32X8, 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 |
|---|---|
_mm512_extracti32x8_epi32
__m256i _mm512_extracti32x8_epi32(__m512i A, const int imm) |

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.
