(register source form)
Select a single precision floating-point element from second source as indicated by Count_S bits of the immediate operand and insert it into the first source at the location indicated by the Count_D bits of the immediate operand. Store in the destination and zero out destination elements based on the ZMask bits of the immediate operand.
(memory source form)
Load a floating-point element from a 32-bit memory location and insert it into the first source at the location indi-cated by the Count_D bits of the immediate operand. Store in the destination and zero out destination elements based on the ZMask bits of the immediate operand.
128-bit Legacy SSE version: The first source register is an XMM register. The second source operand is either an XMM register or a 32-bit memory location. The destination is not distinct from the first source XMM register and the upper bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the corresponding YMM register destination are unmodified.
VEX.128 encoded version. The destination and first source register is an XMM register. The second source operand is either an XMM register or a 32-bit memory location. The upper bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the corresponding YMM register destination are zeroed.
If VINSERTPS is encoded with VEX.L= 1, an attempt to execute the instruction encoded with VEX.L= 1 will cause an #UD exception.
