VPANDND is the EVEX form of VPANDN: it inverts its
first source and ANDs the result with the second, over 128, 256 or 512
bits, with a write mask that selects doublewords and a memory operand
that may be one doubleword repeated, {1to16} at 512 bits. The order
is VPANDN’s: only the first source is inverted, and only the second
may come from memory. VPANDNQ is the same with
quadwords; without a mask or a broadcast the two give the same bits.
VPANDD shows what the EVEX forms add in general.
Recorded on Zen 5
vpandnd zmm0{k3}, zmm31, zmm16with AAEBh in the low 16 bits of K3 turned 00000001h and FFFFFFFFh into FFFFFFFEh in doubleword 0, and kept doublewords 2, 4, 8, 10, 12 and 14 of ZMM0.{evex} vpandnd xmm5, xmm5, xmm5cleared all of ZMM5. AMD’s Zen 5 guide lists VPANDN with ZMM registers among the zeroing idioms (Section 2.9.2), a width only VPANDND and VPANDNQ encode; the guide does not name them.
In compiled code
GCC 14 at -O2 with -march=x86-64-v4 compiles _mm512_andnot_epi32,
_mm512_andnot_si512 and the masked _mm512_mask_andnot_epi32 to
VPANDND, and folds a broadcast operand in:
_mm512_andnot_epi32(a, _mm512_set1_epi32(*p)) is
vpandnd zmm0, zmm0, dword ptr [rdi]{1to16}. In a loop,
d[i] = b[i] & ~c[i] over int arrays, it uses no VPANDND but inverts
c with VPTERNLOGD 55h and ANDs with VPANDD.
Clang 23 picks by encoding. With -mavx512f it compiles that loop to
VPANDND with b from memory, and the masked intrinsic to VPANDND, but
the unmasked ones to VPANDNQ, broadcasting *p into a register first.
With -march=x86-64-v4 it uses VANDNPS for all of
them, masked ones included, on YMM registers in the loop.
AMD’s Zen 5 latency spreadsheet gives the EVEX VPANDND one cycle and four per cycle on any of the four vector pipes, as VPANDN. Zen 5’s 6 recorded cases cover the register and memory forms, broadcast included, at all three widths.

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.
Every doubleword works alike: 4, 8 and 16 doublewords in the xmm, ymm and zmm forms. The forms write under a mask: where its bit is 0, the element keeps its old value, or zeroes it with {z}. With m32bcst, one doubleword from memory stands for every element of the last source.
Result doubleword i comes from doubleword i of xmm2 and xmm3. Result doublewords 3 to 0: ~a3&b3, unchanged (bit 2 of k1 is 0), ~a1&b1, ~a0&b0.
Operation
What the forms do, in pseudocode that our tests run against results recorded on real processors. How to read.
for i in range(VL // 32):
if k1[i]:
zmm1.d[i] = ~zmm2.d[i] & src3.d[i]
elif zeroing:
zmm1.d[i] = 0
# else: zmm1.d[i] keeps its value
# m32bcst: src3.d[i] is the m32 for every i
# zmm1 is zeroed from bit VL upRun on AMD Zen 5 (EPYC 9645): 6 cases.

Intrinsics
