VPMOVB2M



VPMOVB2M moves bytes from a SIMD register to a memory location. The instruction takes each byte from the source register and stores it as an individual byte in the destination memory address, effectively expanding or moving a byte-stream.

The table below covers what the source and destinations can be.

source destination(s)
reg m1
reg imm #I

DO NOT support LOCK

This instruction requires the AVX-512 extension set to be enabled. It is only available in 64-bit mode and 32-bit mode; it is NOT supported in compatibility mode.

The destination memory address MUST be aligned to the requirements of the data size to avoid potential performance penalties or general protection faults depending on the alignment check attribute. Ensure that the memory region m1 is sufficiently large to hold the number of bytes being moved from the source register to prevent out-of-bounds memory access.
