Preface
Preface
This is an update to the specifications in the documents listed in the “Affected Documents” and
tables. It is a compilation of device and document errata and specification clarifications/changes,
and is intended for hardware system manufacturers and software developers.
Information types defined in the Nomenclature section of this document are consolidated into this
document and are no longer published in other documents. This document may also contain
previously unpublished information.
Affected Documents
Nomenclature
S-Spec Number is a five-digit code used to identify products. Products are differentiated by their
unique characteristics, e.g., core speed, L3 cache size, package type, etc. as described in the
processor identification information table. Care should be taken to read all notes associated with
each S-Spec number.
Errata are design defects or errors. Errata may cause the processor's behavior to deviate from
published specifications. Hardware and software designed to be used with any given processor
must assume that all errata documented for that processor are present on all devices unless
otherwise noted.
Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications. These changes
will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications.
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 the
next release of the specifications.
Documentation Changes include typos, errors, or omissions from the current published
specifications. These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications.
