Electrical Specifications
NOTES:
1. Unless otherwise noted, all specifications in this table apply to all processor frequencies.
2. GTLREF is to be generated from V
TT
by a voltage divider of 1% resistors. If an Adjustable
GTLREF circuit is used on the board (for Quad-Core processors compatibility) the two
GTLREF lands connected to the Adjustable GTLREF circuit require the following:
GTLREF_PU = 50 Ω, GTLREF_PD = 100 Ω.
3. R
TT
is the on-die termination resistance measured at V
TT
/3 of the GTL+ output driver.
4. COMP resistance must be provided on the system board with 1% resistors. COMP[3:0] and
COMP8 resistors are to V
SS
.
2.8 Clock Specifications
2.8.1 Front Side Bus Clock (BCLK[1:0]) and Processor Clocking
BCLK[1:0] directly controls the FSB interface speed as well as the core frequency of the
processor. As in previous generation processors, the processor’s core frequency is a
multiple of the BCLK[1:0] frequency. The processor bus ratio multiplier will be set at its
default ratio during manufacturing. The processor supports Half Ratios between 7.5
and 13.5, refer to Ta b l e 15 for the processor supported ratios.
The processor uses a differential clocking implementation. For more information on the
processor clocking, contact your Intel field representative.
