Specification Update January 2015
Preface
This document is an update to the specifications contained in the Nomenclature table
below. This document is a compilation of device and documentation errata,
specification clarifications and changes. It is intended for hardware system
manufacturers and software developers of applications, operating systems, or tools.
Information types defined in Nomenclature are consolidated into the specification
update and are no longer published in other documents.
This document may also contain information that was not previously published.
Nomenclature
S-Spec Number is a five-digit code used to identify products. Products are
differentiated by their unique characteristics (for example, core speed, L3 cache size,
package type, and so forth) as described in the processor identification information
table. Read all notes associated with each S-Spec number.
Errata are design defects or errors. These may cause the Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor E7
v2 Product Family’s behavior to deviate from published specifications. Hardware and
software designed to be used with any given stepping must assume that all errata
documented for that stepping are present on all devices.
Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications.
These changes will be incorporated in any new release of the specification.
Specification Clarifications describe a specification in greater detail or further
highlight a specification’s impact to a complex design situation. These clarifications will
be incorporated in any new release of the specification.
Documentation Changes are modifications to the current published specifications
and may include typographical errors, omissions, or incorrect information from the
current published specifications. These will be incorporated in the next release of the
specification.
Documentation changes are removed from the sightings report and/or specification
update when the appropriate changes are made to the appropriate product
specification or user documentation.
