For Socket 7 CPU, one burst data read requires four QWord (Quad-word, 4x16 = 64 bits). PBSRAM only needs one address
decoding time and automatically sends the remaining QWords to CPU according to a predefined sequence. Normally, it is
3-1-1-1, total 6 clocks, which is faster than asynchronous SRAM. PBSRAM is often used on L2 (level 2) cache of Socket 7 CPU.
Slot 1 and Socket 370 CPU do not need PBSRAM.
