2.8.3.1 Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) DC Specifications
PECI is an Intel proprietary one-wire interface that provides a communication channel
between Intel processors, chipsets, and external thermal monitoring devices. The
Yorkfield processor contains Digital Thermal Sensors (DTS) distributed throughout die.
These sensors are implemented as analog-to-digital converters calibrated at the factory
for reasonable accuracy to provide a digital representation of relative processor
temperature. PECI provides an interface to relay the highest DTS temperature within a
die to external management devices for thermal/fan speed control. More detailed
information may be found in the Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI)
Specification.

2.8.3.2 GTL+ Front Side Bus Specifications
In most cases, termination resistors are not required as these are integrated into the
processor silicon. See Table 2-7 for details on which GTL+ signals do not include on-die
termination. Refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines for specific
implementation details.
