STNT1B (scalar plus scalar, strided registers)

Contiguous store non-temporal of bytes from multiple strided vectors (scalar index)

This instruction performs a contiguous non-temporal store of bytes from elements of two or four strided vector registers to the memory address generated by a 64-bit scalar base and scalar index that is added to the base address. After each element access the index value is incremented, but the index register is not updated.

Inactive elements are not written to memory.

A non-temporal store is a hint to the system that this data is unlikely to be referenced again soon.

It has encodings from 2 classes: Two registers and Four registers
