Seeing the confusion and clarifications in the replies to your comment, I think it may have been more clear if you had said (and you probably meant):
"Can you point to a source for this? All x86 assemblers that I know of map one assembly instruction to one out of a set of machine instructions (where the chosen machine instruction depends on things like the addressing mode (immediate, indexed, indirect indexed, etc. - I'm using older terms for addressing mode, not sure if they are valid now with newer processors. but the concept is the same).
