4.4 System Processor (CPU)
The FIC MB02 runs on Intel Banias based on uFCPGA packaging. It supports CPU with
up to 1.3/1.4/1.5/1.6/1.7 GHZ clock speed rating. The processor operates in conjunction
with the RAM and ROM memory and the system control logic to process software
instructions (BIOS, Windows, and Applications).
Intel Pentium M Features
The Intel® Pentium® M processor is a high performance, low power mobile processor
with several micro-architectural enhancements over existing Intel mobile processors.
The following list provides some of the key features on this processor:
• Supports Intel® Architecture with Dynamic Execution
• High performance, low-power core
• On-die, primary 32-kbyte instruction cache and 32-kbyte write-back data cache
• On-die, 1-MByte second level cache with Advanced Transfer Cache Architecture
• Advanced Branch Prediction and Data Prefetch Logic
• Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2)
• 400-MHz, Source-Synchronous processor system bus
• Advanced Power Management features including Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep®
technology
• Micro-FCPGA and Micro-FCBGA packaging technologies
The Intel Pentium M processor is manufactured on Intel’s advanced 0.13 micron process
technology with copper interconnect. The processor maintains support for MMX™
technology and Internet Streaming SIMD instructions and full compatibility with IA-32
software. The high performance core features architectural innovations like Micro-op
Fusion and Advanced Stack Management that reduce the number of micro-ops handled by
the processor. This results in more efficient scheduling and better performance at lower
