-The YMM registers are the 256-bit extension to the XMM registers. They are introduced to implement the AVX set of instructions. Additionally, in 64-bit processors, the number of available YMM registers was increased to 16 (figure {{ref>ymmregs}}). +The YMM registers are the 256-bit extension to the XMM registers.

-Together with AVX extension and ZMM registers, eight 16-bit opmask registers were introduced to x64 processors (figure {{ref>opmaskregs}}). They can be used, e.g. to provide conditional execution or mask several elements of vectors in AVX instructions. +Together with AVX extension and ZMM registers, eight 16-bit opmask registers were introduced to x64 processors.
