INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY

The following sections list instructions in each major group and subgroup. Given for each instruction is its 
mnemonic and descriptive names. When two or more mnemonics are given (for example, CMOVA/CMOVNBE), they 
represent different mnemonics for the same instruction opcode. Assemblers support redundant mnemonics for 
some instructions to make it easier to read code listings. For instance, CMOVA (Conditional move if above) and 
CMOVNBE (Conditional move if not below or equal) represent the same condition. For detailed information about 
specific instructions, see the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volumes 2A, 2B, 2C 
& 2D.
