These processors feature per socket, two Intel
®
 QuickPath Interconnect point-to-point 
links capable of up to 8.0 GT/s, up to 40 lanes of PCI Express* 3.0 links capable of 
8.0 GT/s, and 4 lanes of DMI2/PCI Ex
press* 2.0 interface with a peak transfer rate of 
5.0 GT/s. The processor supports up to 46 bits of physical address space and 48-bit of 
virtual address space.
Included in this family of processors is an integrated memory c
ontroller (IMC) and 
integrated I/O (IIO) (such as PCI Express* and DMI2) on a single silicon die. This single 
die solution is known as a monolithic processor. 
Figure 1-1 through Figure 1-3 show the processor 1-socket, 2-socket and 4-socket 
platform configurations. The “Legacy CPU” is the boot processor that is connected to the 
PCH component, this 
socket is set to NodeID[0]. In the 4-socket configuration, the 
“Remote CPU” is the processor which is not connected to the Legacy CPU.
