18 Datasheet
PCH Platform Controller Hub. The new, 2009 chipset with centralized
platform capabilities including the main I/O interfaces along with
display connectivity, audio features, power management,
manageability, security and storage features. The PCH may also be
referred to using the name (Mobile) Intel® 5 Series Chipset
PECI Platform Environment Control Interface.
PEG PCI Express* Graphics. External Graphics using PCI Express
Architecture. A high-speed serial interface whose configuration is
software compatible with the existing PCI specifications.
Processor The 64-bit, single-core or multi-core component (package).
Processor Core The term processor core refers to Si die itself which can contain
multiple execution cores. Each execution core has an instruction
cache, data cache, and 256-KB L2 cache. All execution cores share the
L3 cache.
Rank A unit of DRAM corresponding four to eight devices in parallel, ignoring
ECC. These devices are usually, but not always, mounted on a single
side of a SO-DIMM.
SCI System Control Interrupt. Used in ACPI protocol.
Storage Conditions A non-operational state. The processor may be installed in a platform,
in a tray, or loose. Processors may be sealed in packaging or exposed
to free air. Under these conditions, processor landings should not be
connected to any supply voltages, have any I/Os biased or receive any
clocks. Upon exposure to free air (i.e., unsealed packaging or a
device removed from packaging material) the processor must be
handled in accordance with moisture sensitivity labeling (MSL) as
indicated on the packaging material.
