Description

This instruction cannot be used for register to register or memory to memory moves. 128-bit Legacy SSE load: Moves a double-precision floating-point value from the source 64-bit memory operand and stores it in the high 64bits of the destination XMM register. The lower 64bits of the XMM register are preserved. The upper 128-bits of the corresponding YMM destination register are preserved.

In 64-bit mode, use of the REX.R prefix permits this instruction to access additional registers (XMM8-XMM15). VEX.128 encoded load: Loads a double-precision floating-point value from the source 64-bit memory operand (third operand) and stores it in the upper 64-bits of the destination XMM register (first operand). The low 64-bits from second XMM register (second operand) are stored in the lower 64-bits of the destination. The upper 128-bits of the destination YMM register are zeroed. 128-bit store: Stores a double-precision floating-point value from the high 64-bits of the XMM register source (second operand) to the 64-bit memory location (first operand). Note: VMOVHPD (store) (VEX.128.66.0F 17 /r) is legal and has the same behavior as the existing 66 0F 17 store. For VMOVHPD (store) (VEX.128.66.0F 17 /r) instruction version, VEX.vvvv is reserved and must be 1111b otherwise instruction will #UD. If VMOVHPD is encoded with VEX.L= 1, an attempt to execute the instruction encoded with VEX.L= 1 will cause an #UD exception.
