BTW, in some cases, our documentation won't be as specific and will say "This intrinsic (e.g. _mm_store_ps1 ) corresponds to the Shuffling + MOVSS instruction" or 
"No AVX instruction corresponds to this intrinsic (e.g. _mm256_set_pd)" or "Composite SSE2 instruction corresponds to this intrinsic (e.g. _mm_set_sd).

Microsoft and Intel's documentation are very similar with this respect. See the description of _mm_set_sd intrinsic that I just mentioned.
