| Opcode/Instruction | Op/En | 64/32 bit Mode Support | CPUID Feature Flag | Description |
| 0F C4 /r ib1 PINSRW mm, r32/m16, imm8 | RMI | V/V | SSE | Insert the low word from r32 or from m16 into mm at the word position specified by imm8. |
| 66 0F C4 /r ib PINSRW xmm, r32/m16, imm8 | RMI | V/V | SSE2 | Move the low word of r32 or from m16 into xmm at the word position specified by imm8. |
| VEX.NDS.128.66.0F.W0 C4 /r ib VPINSRW xmm1, xmm2, r32/m16, imm8 | RVMI | V2/V | AVX | Insert a word integer value from r32/m16 and rest from xmm2 into xmm1 at the word offset in imm8. |
Notes: 1. See note in Section 2.4, “Instruction Exception Specification” in the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 2A and Section 22.25.3, “Exception Conditions of Legacy SIMD Instructions Operating on MMX Registers” in the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 3A. 2. In 64-bit mode, VEX.W1 is ignored for VPINSRW (similar to legacy REX.W=1 prefix in PINSRW).
| Op/En | Operand 1 | Operand 2 | Operand 3 | Operand 4 |

| RVMI | ModRM:reg (w) | VEX.vvvv (r) | ModRM:r/m (r) | imm8 |
Copies a word from the source operand (second operand) and inserts it in the destination operand (first operand) at the location specified with the count operand (third operand). (The other words in the destination register are left untouched.) The source operand can be a general-purpose register or a 16-bit memory location. (When the source operand is a general-purpose register, the low word of the register is copied.) The destination operand can be an MMX technology register or an XMM register. The count operand is an 8-bit immediate. When specifying a word location in an MMX technology register, the 2 least-significant bits of the count operand specify the location; for an XMM register, the 3 least-significant bits specify the location.
In 64-bit mode, using a REX prefix in the form of REX.R permits this instruction to access additional registers (XMM8-XMM15, R8-15). 128-bit Legacy SSE version: Bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the corresponding YMM destination register remain unchanged. VEX.128 encoded version: Bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the destination YMM register are zeroed. VEX.L must be 0, otherwise the instruction will #UD.
