\chapter{``Q'' Standard Extension for Quad-Precision Floating-Point,
Version 2.2}
-This chapter describes the Q standard extension for 128-bit binary
+This chapter describes the Q standard extension for 128-bit quad-precision binary
floating-point instructions compliant with the IEEE 754-2008
-arithmetic standard. The 128-bit or quad-precision binary
-floating-point instruction subset is named ``Q'', and requires
+arithmetic standard. The quad-precision binary
+floating-point instruction-set extension is named ``Q'', and requires
RV64IFD. The floating-point registers are now extended to hold either
a single, double, or quad-precision floating-point value (FLEN=128).
The NaN-boxing scheme described in Section~\ref{nanboxing} is now
