VPMOVSWB

Moves bytes from a source to a destination, with sign-extension from 8-bit to 16-bit elements.

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

DO NOT support LOCK

This instruction is only available in 64-bit mode. It requires the processor to support the AVX instruction set.

The destination must be aligned to 16 bytes if the memory operand is used, otherwise a general-protection fault may occur. Using the same register for both source and destination is permitted.
