• Automatic discovery, negotiation, and training of link out of reset.
• Supports receiving and decoding 64 bits of address from PCI Express*.
— Memory transactions received from PCI Express* that go above the top of
physical address space (when Intel VT-d is enabled, the check would be against
the translated HPA (Host Physical Address) address) are reported as errors by
the processor.
— Outbound access to PCI Express* will always have address bits 63 to
46 cleared.
• Re-issues Configuration cycles that have been previously completed with the
Configuration Retry status.
• Power Management Event (PME) functions.
• Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI and MSI-X) messages
• Degraded Mode support and Lane Reversal support
• Static lane numbering reversal and polarity inversion support
• Support for PCIe* 3.0 atomic operation, PCIe 3.0 optional extension on atomic
read-modify-write mechanism
• Additional read buffers for point-point transfers. This increases the number of
outstanding transactions in point-point transfers across same processor sockets,
from previous generation of 16 to 64 in this generation.
