System Memory Organization Modes
The Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) supports two memory organization modes –
single-channel and dual-channel. Depending upon how the DIMM Modules are
populated in each memory channel, a number of different configurations can exist.
Single-Channel Mode
In this mode, all memory cycles are directed to a single-channel. Single-channel mode
is used when either Channel A or Channel B DIMM connectors are populated in any
order, but not both.
Dual-Channel Mode – Intel® Flex Memory Technology Mode
The IMC supports Intel Flex Memory Technology Mode. Memory is divided into
symmetric and asymmetric zones. The symmetric zone starts at the lowest address in
each channel and is contiguous until the asymmetric zone begins or until the top
address of the channel with the smaller capacity is reached. In this mode, the system
runs with one zone of dual-channel mode and one zone of single-channel mode,
simultaneously, across the whole memory array.
Note: Channels A and B can be mapped for physical channel 0 and 1 respectively or vice
versa; however, channel A size must be greater or equal to channel B size.

B – The largest physical memory amount of the smaller size memory module
C – The remaining physical memory amount of the larger size memory module
Dual-Channel Symmetric Mode
Dual-Channel Symmetric mode, also known as interleaved mode, provides maximum
performance on real world applications. Addresses are ping-ponged between the
channels after each cache line (64-byte boundary). If there are two requests, and the
second request is to an address on the opposite channel from the first, that request
can be sent before data from the first request has returned. If two consecutive cache
lines are requested, both may be retrieved simultaneously, since they are ensured to
be on opposite channels. Use Dual-Channel Symmetric mode when both Channel A
and Channel B DIMM connectors are populated in any order, with the total amount of
memory in each channel being the same.
When both channels are populated with the same memory capacity and the boundary
between the dual channel zone and the single channel zone is the top of memory, the
IMC operates completely in Dual-Channel Symmetric mode.
Note: The DRAM device technology and width may vary from one channel to the other.
System Memory Frequency
In all modes, the frequency of system memory is the lowest frequency of all memory
modules placed in the system, as determined through the SPD registers on the
memory modules. The system memory controller supports up to two DIMM connectors
per channel. If DIMMs with different latency are populated across the channels, the
BIOS will use the slower of the two latencies for both channels. For dual-channel mode
both channels must have a DIMM connector populated. For single-channel mode, only
a single channel can have a DIMM connector populated.
Intel® Fast Memory Access (Intel® FMA) Technology
Enhancements

Out-of-Order Scheduling Intel FMA technology enhancements.

Datasheet – Volume 1 of 2 July 2014

Just-in-Time Command Scheduling
The memory controller has an advanced command scheduler where all pending
requests are examined simultaneously to determine the most efficient request to be
issued next. The most efficient request is picked from all pending requests and issued
to system memory Just-in-Time to make optimal use of Command Overlapping. Thus,
instead of having all memory access requests go individually through an arbitration
mechanism forcing requests to be executed one at a time, the requests can be started
without interfering with the current request allowing for concurrent issuing of
requests. This allows for optimized bandwidth and reduced latency while maintaining
appropriate command spacing to meet system memory protocol.
Command Overlap
Command Overlap allows the insertion of the DRAM commands between the Activate,
Pre-charge, and Read/Write commands normally used, as long as the inserted
commands do not affect the currently executing command. Multiple commands can be
issued in an overlapping manner, increasing the efficiency of system memory protocol.
Out-of-Order Scheduling
While leveraging the Just-in-Time Scheduling and Command Overlap enhancements,
the IMC continuously monitors pending requests to system memory for the best use of
bandwidth and reduction of latency. If there are multiple requests to the same open
page, these requests would be launched in a back-to-back manner to make optimum
use of the open memory page. This ability to reorder requests on the fly allows the
IMC to further reduce latency and increase bandwidth efficiency.
Data Scrambling
The system memory controller incorporates a Data Scrambling feature to minimize the
impact of excessive di/dt on the platform system memory VRs due to successive 1s
and 0s on the data bus. Past experience has demonstrated that traffic on the data bus
is not random and can have energy concentrated at specific spectral harmonics
creating high di/dt, which is generally limited by data patterns that excite resonance
between the package inductance and on die capacitances. As a result, the system
memory controller uses a data scrambling feature to create pseudo-random patterns
on the system memory data bus to reduce the impact of any excessive di/dt.
DRAM Clock Generation
Every supported DIMM has two differential clock pairs. There are a total of four clock
pairs driven directly by the processor to two DIMMs.
DRAM Reference Voltage Generation
The memory controller has the capability of generating the DDR3L/DDR3L-RS
Reference Voltage (VREF) internally for both read (RDVREF) and write (VREFDQ)
operations. The generated VREF can be changed in small steps, and an optimum VREF
value is determined for both during a cold boot through advanced DDR3L/DDR3L-RS
training procedures to provide the best voltage and signal margins.

Vertex Fetch (VF) Stage
The VF stage executes 3DPRIMITIVE commands. Some enhancements have been
included to better support legacy D3D APIs as well as SGI OpenGL*.
Vertex Shader (VS) Stage
The VS stage performs shading of vertices output by the VF function. The VS unit
produces an output vertex reference for every input vertex reference received from
the VF unit, in the order received.
Geometry Shader (GS) Stage
The GS stage receives inputs from the VS stage. Compiled application-provided GS
programs, specifying an algorithm to convert the vertices of an input object into some
output primitives. For example, a GS shader may convert lines of a line strip into
polygons representing a corresponding segment of a blade of grass centered on the
line. Or it could use adjacency information to detect silhouette edges of triangles and
output polygons extruding out from the edges.
Clip Stage
The Clip stage performs general processing on incoming 3D objects. However, it also
includes specialized logic to perform a Clip Test function on incoming objects. The Clip
Test optimizes generalized 3D Clipping. The Clip unit examines the position of
incoming vertices, and accepts/rejects 3D objects based on its Clip algorithm.
Strips and Fans (SF) Stage
The SF stage performs setup operations required to rasterize 3D objects. The outputs
from the SF stage to the Windower stage contain implementation-specific information
required for the rasterization of objects and also supports clipping of primitives to
some extent.
Windower / IZ (WIZ) Stage
The WIZ unit performs an early depth test, which removes failing pixels and
eliminates unnecessary processing overhead.
The Windower uses the parameters provided by the SF unit in the object-specific
rasterization algorithms. The WIZ unit rasterizes objects into the corresponding set of
pixels. The Windower is also capable of performing dithering, whereby the illusion of a
higher resolution when using low-bpp channels in color buffers is possible. Color
dithering diffuses the sharp color bands seen on smooth-shaded objects.
Video Engine
The Video Engine handles the non-3D (media/video) applications. It includes support
for VLD and MPEG2 decode in hardware.
2D Engine
The 2D Engine contains BLT (Block Level Transfer) functionality and an extensive set
of 2D instructions. To take advantage of the 3D during engine’s functionality, some
BLT functions make use of the 3D renderer.

Logical 128-Bit Fixed BLT and 256 Fill Engine
This BLT engine accelerates the GUI of Microsoft Windows* operating systems. The
128-bit BLT engine provides hardware acceleration of block transfers of pixel data for
many common Windows operations. The BLT engine can be used for the following:
Move rectangular blocks of data between memory locations
Data alignment
To perform logical operations (raster ops)
The rectangular block of data does not change, as it is transferred between memory
locations. The allowable memory transfers are between: cacheable system memory
and frame buffer memory, frame buffer memory and frame buffer memory, and within
system memory. Data to be transferred can consist of regions of memory, patterns, or
solid color fills. A pattern is always 8 x 8 pixels wide and may be 8, 16, or 32 bits per
pixel.
The BLT engine expands monochrome data into a color depth of 8, 16, or 32 bits.
BLTs can be either opaque or transparent. Opaque transfers move the data specified
to the destination. Transparent transfers compare destination color to source color and
write according to the mode of transparency selected.
Data is horizontally and vertically aligned at the destination. If the destination for the
BLT overlaps with the source memory location, the BLT engine specifies which area in
memory to begin the BLT transfer. Hardware is included for all 256 raster operations
(source, pattern, and destination) defined by Microsoft*, including transparent BLT.
The BLT engine has instructions to invoke BLT and stretch BLT operations, permitting
software to set up instruction buffers and use batch processing. The BLT engine can
perform hardware clipping during BLTs.
Digital Display Interface (DDI)
The processor supports:
Two Digital Display (x4 DDI) interfaces that can be configured as DisplayPort*,
HDMI*. The DisplayPort* can be configured to use 1, 2, or 4 lanes depending
on the bandwidth requirements and link data rate of RBR (1.62 GT/s), HBR
(2.97 GT/s), and HBR2 (5.4 GT/s). When configured as HDMI*, the DDIx4
port can support 2.97 GT/s.
One dedicated x4 embedded DisplayPort* (eDP*). Built-in displays are only
supported on eDP.
The HDMI* interface supports HDMI with 3D, 4K, Deep Color, and x.v.Color. The
DisplayPort* interface supports the VESA DisplayPort* Standard Version 1,
Revision 2.
The processor supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) for
high-definition content playback over digital interfaces.
The processor also integrates dedicated a Mini HD audio controller to drive audio
on integrated digital display interfaces, such as HDMI* and DisplayPort*. The HD
audio controller on the PCH would continue to support down CODECs, and so on.

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI*)
The High-Definition Multimedia Interface* (HDMI*) is provided for transmitting
uncompressed digital audio and video signals from DVD players, set-top boxes, and
other audiovisual sources to television sets, projectors, and other video displays. It
can carry high quality multi-channel audio data and all standard and high-definition
consumer electronics video formats. The HDMI display interface connecting the
processor and display devices uses transition minimized differential signaling (TMDS)
to carry audiovisual information through the same HDMI cable.
HDMI includes three separate communications channels — TMDS, DDC, and the
optional CEC (consumer electronics control). CEC is not supported on the processor.
As shown in the following figure, the HDMI cable carries four differential pairs that
make up the TMDS data and clock channels. These channels are used to carry video,
audio, and auxiliary data. In addition, HDMI carries a VESA DDC. The DDC is used by
an HDMI Source to determine the capabilities and characteristics of the Sink.
Audio, video, and auxiliary (control/status) data is transmitted across the three TMDS
data channels. The video pixel clock is transmitted on the TMDS clock channel and is
used by the receiver for data recovery on the three data channels. The digital display
data signals driven natively through the PCH are AC coupled and needs level shifting
to convert the AC coupled signals to the HDMI compliant digital signals.
The processor HDMI interface is designed in accordance with the High-Definition
Multimedia Interface with 3D, 4K, Deep Color, and x.v.Color.

The processor will continue to support Silent stream. Silent stream is an integrated
audio feature that enables short audio streams, such as system events to be heard
over the HDMI and DisplayPort monitors. The processor supports silent streams over
the HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces at 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz,
176.4 kHz, and 192 kHz sampling rates.
Multiple Display Configurations
The following multiple display configuration modes are supported (with appropriate
driver software):
Single Display is a mode with one display port activated to display the output to
one display device.
Intel Display Clone is a mode with up to three display ports activated to drive the
display content of same color depth setting but potentially different refresh rate
and resolution settings to all the active display devices connected.
Extended Desktop is a mode with up to three display ports activated to drive the
content with potentially different color depth, refresh rate, and resolution settings
on each of the active display devices connected.
The digital ports on the processor can be configured to support DisplayPort*/HDMI.

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)
HDCP is the technology for protecting high-definition content against unauthorized
copy or unreceptive between a source (computer, digital set top boxes, and so on)
and the sink (panels, monitor, and TVs). The processor supports HDCP 1.4 for content
protection over wired displays (HDMI* and DisplayPort*).
The HDCP 1.4 keys are integrated into the processor and customers are not required
to physically configure or handle the keys.
Platform Environmental Control Interface (PECI)
PECI is an Intel proprietary interface that provides a communication channel between
Intel processors and external components, like Super I/O (SIO) and Embedded
Controllers (EC), to provide processor temperature, Turbo, Configurable TDP, and
memory throttling control mechanisms and many other services. PECI is used for
platform thermal management and real time control and configuration of processor
features and performance.
PECI Bus Architecture
The PECI architecture is based on a wired-OR bus that the clients (as processor PECI)
can pull up high (with strong drive).
The idle state on the bus is near zero.
The following figure demonstrates PECI design and connectivity. While the host/
originator can be a third party PECI host, one of the PECI clients is a processor PECI
device.

3.0 Technologies
This chapter provides a high-level description of Intel technologies implemented in the
processor.
The implementation of the features may vary between the processor SKUs.
Details on the different technologies of Intel processors and other relevant external
notes are located at the Intel technology web site: http://www.intel.com/technology/
Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)
Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) makes a single system appear as multiple
independent systems to software. This allows multiple, independent operating systems
to run simultaneously on a single system. Intel VT comprises technology components
to support virtualization of platforms based on Intel architecture microprocessors and
chipsets.
Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) for IA-32, Intel® 64 and Intel®
Architecture (Intel® VT-x) added hardware support in the processor to improve the
virtualization performance and robustness. Intel® Virtualization Technology for
Directed I/O (Intel VT-d) extends Intel® VT-x by adding hardware assisted support to
improve I/O device virtualization performance.
Intel® VT-x specifications and functional descriptions are included in the Intel® 64 and
IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 3B and is available at:
http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/index.htm

Intel® VT-x Objectives
Intel VT-x provides hardware acceleration for virtualization of IA platforms. Virtual
Machine Monitor (VMM) can use Intel VT-x features to provide an improved reliable
virtualized platform. By using Intel VT-x, a VMM is:
Robust: VMMs no longer need to use paravirtualization or binary translation. This
means that off-the-shelf operating systems and applications can be run without
any special steps.
Enhanced: Intel VT enables VMMs to run 64-bit guest operating systems on IA
x86 processors.

Processor Family
July 2014 Datasheet – Volume 1 of 2
Order No.: 329001-007 31
More reliable: Due to the hardware support, VMMs can now be smaller, less
complex, and more efficient. This improves reliability and availability and reduces
the potential for software conflicts.
More secure: The use of hardware transitions in the VMM strengthens the
isolation of VMs and further prevents corruption of one VM from affecting others
on the same system.
Intel® VT-x Features
The processor supports the following Intel VT-x features:
Extended Page Table (EPT) Accessed and Dirty Bits
EPT A/D bits enabled VMMs to efficiently implement memory management and
page classification algorithms to optimize VM memory operations, such as de-
fragmentation, paging, live migration, and check-pointing. Without hardware
support for EPT A/D bits, VMMs may need to emulate A/D bits by marking EPT
paging-structures as not-present or read-only, and incur the overhead of EPT
page-fault VM exits and associated software processing.
Extended Page Table Pointer (EPTP) switching
EPTP switching is a specific VM function. EPTP switching allows guest software
(in VMX non-root operation, supported by EPT) to request a different EPT
paging-structure hierarchy. This is a feature by which software in VMX non-
root operation can request a change of EPTP without a VM exit. Software can
choose among a set of potential EPTP values determined in advance by
software in VMX root operation.
Pause loop exiting
Support VMM schedulers seeking to determine when a virtual processor of a
multiprocessor virtual machine is not performing useful work. This situation
may occur when not all virtual processors of the virtual machine are currently
scheduled and when the virtual processor in question is in a loop involving the
PAUSE instruction. The new feature allows detection of such loops and is thus
called PAUSE-loop exiting.
The processor core supports the following Intel VT-x features:
Extended Page Tables (EPT)
EPT is hardware assisted page table virtualization.
It eliminates VM exits from the guest operating system to the VMM for shadow
page-table maintenance.
Virtual Processor IDs (VPID)
Ability to assign a VM ID to tag processor core hardware structures (such as
TLBs).
This avoids flushes on VM transitions to give a lower-cost VM transition time
and an overall reduction in virtualization overhead.
Guest Preemption Timer
Mechanism for a VMM to preempt the execution of a guest operating system
after an amount of time specified by the VMM. The VMM sets a timer value
before entering a guest.
The feature aids VMM developers in flexibility and Quality of Service (QoS)
guarantees.

Descriptor-Table Exiting
Descriptor-table exiting allows a VMM to protect a guest operating system
from an internal (malicious software based) attack by preventing relocation of
key system data structures like IDT (interrupt descriptor table), GDT (global
descriptor table), LDT (local descriptor table), and TSS (task segment
selector).
A VMM using this feature can intercept (by a VM exit) attempts to relocate
these data structures and prevent them from being tampered by malicious
software.
Intel® VT-d Objectives
The key Intel VT-d objectives are domain-based isolation and hardware-based
virtualization. A domain can be abstractly defined as an isolated environment in a
platform to which a subset of host physical memory is allocated. Intel VT-d provides
accelerated I/O performance for a virtualized platform and provides software with the
following capabilities:
I/O device assignment and security: for flexibly assigning I/O devices to VMs and
extending the protection and isolation properties of VMs for I/O operations.
DMA remapping: for supporting independent address translations for Direct
Memory Accesses (DMA) from devices.
Interrupt remapping: for supporting isolation and routing of interrupts from
devices and external interrupt controllers to appropriate VMs.
Reliability: for recording and reporting to system software DMA and interrupt
errors that may otherwise corrupt memory or impact VM isolation.
Intel VT-d accomplishes address translation by associating a transaction from a given
I/O device to a translation table associated with the Guest to which the device is
assigned. It does this by means of the data structure in the following illustration. This
table creates an association between the device's PCI Express* Bus/Device/Function
(B/D/F) number and the base address of a translation table. This data structure is
populated by a VMM to map devices to translation tables in accordance with the device
assignment restrictions above, and to include a multi-level translation table (VT-d
Table) that contains Guest specific address translations.

Intel VT-d functionality, often referred to as an Intel VT-d Engine, has typically been
implemented at or near a PCI Express host bridge component of a computer system.
This might be in a chipset component or in the PCI Express functionality of a processor
with integrated I/O. When one such Intel VT-d engine receives a PCI Express
transaction from a PCI Express bus, it uses the B/D/F number associated with the
transaction to search for an Intel VT-d translation table. In doing so, it uses the B/D/F
number to traverse the data structure shown in the above figure. If it finds a valid
Intel VT-d table in this data structure, it uses that table to translate the address
provided on the PCI Express bus. If it does not find a valid translation table for a given
translation, this results in an Intel VT-d fault. If Intel VT-d translation is required, the
Intel VT-d engine performs an N-level table walk.

Note: Intel VT-d Technology may not be available on all SKUs.
Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT)
Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT) defines platform-level enhancements
that provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms.
The Intel TXT platform helps to provide the authenticity of the controlling environment
such that those wishing to rely on the platform can make an appropriate trust
decision. The Intel TXT platform determines the identity of the controlling environment
by accurately measuring and verifying the controlling software.

Another aspect of the trust decision is the ability of the platform to resist attempts to
change the controlling environment. The Intel TXT platform will resist attempts by
software processes to change the controlling environment or bypass the bounds set by
the controlling environment.
Intel TXT is a set of extensions designed to provide a measured and controlled launch
of system software that will then establish a protected environment for itself and any
additional software that it may execute.
These extensions enhance two areas:
The launching of the Measured Launched Environment (MLE).
The protection of the MLE from potential corruption.
The enhanced platform provides these launch and control interfaces using Safer Mode
Extensions (SMX).
The SMX interface includes the following functions:
Measured/Verified launch of the MLE.
Mechanisms to ensure the above measurement is protected and stored in a secure
location.
Protection mechanisms that allow the MLE to control attempts to modify itself.
The processor also offers additional enhancements to System Management Mode
(SMM) architecture for enhanced security and performance. The processor provides
new MSRs to:
Enable a second SMM range
Enable SMM code execution range checking
Select whether SMM Save State is to be written to legacy SMRAM or to MSRs
Determine if a thread is going to be delayed entering SMM
Determine if a thread is blocked from entering SMM
Targeted SMI, enable/disable threads from responding to SMIs both VLWs and IPI
For the above features, BIOS must test the associated capability bit before attempting
to access any of the above registers.
For more information, refer to the Intel® Trusted Execution Technology Measured
Launched Environment Programming Guide.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT
Technology)
The processor supports Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel HT Technology) that
allows an execution core to function as two logical processors. While some execution
resources, such as caches, execution units, and buses are shared, each logical
processor has its own architectural state with its own set of general-purpose registers
and control registers. This feature must be enabled using the BIOS and requires
operating system support.

Intel recommends enabling Intel HT Technology with Microsoft Windows* 8 and
Microsoft Windows* 7 and disabling Intel HT Technology using the BIOS for all
previous versions of Windows* operating systems. For more information on Intel HT
Technology, see http://www.intel.com/technology/platform-technology/hyper-
threading/.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0
The Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows the processor core to opportunistically
and automatically run faster than its rated operating frequency/render clock, if it is
operating below power, temperature, and current limits. The Intel Turbo Boost
Technology 2.0 feature is designed to increase performance of both multi-threaded
and single-threaded workloads.
Compared with previous generation products, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 will
increase the ratio of application power to TDP. Thus, thermal solutions and platform
cooling that are designed to less than thermal design guidance might experience
thermal and performance issues since more applications will tend to run at the
maximum power limit for significant periods of time.
Note: Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 may not be available on all SKUs.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 Frequency
To determine the highest performance frequency amongst active cores, the processor
takes the following into consideration:
The number of cores operating in the C0 state.
The estimated core current consumption.
The estimated package prior and present power consumption.
The package temperature.
Any of these factors can affect the maximum frequency for a given workload. If the
power, current, or thermal limit is reached, the processor will automatically reduce the
frequency to stay within its TDP limit. Turbo processor frequencies are only active if
the operating system is requesting the P0 state. For more information on P-states and
C-states, see Power Management on page 42.
Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 2.0 (Intel® AVX2)
Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 2.0 (Intel AVX2) is the latest expansion of the Intel
instruction set. Intel AVX2 extends the Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel AVX)
with 256-bit integer instructions, floating-point fused multiply add (FMA) instructions,
and gather operations. The 256-bit integer vectors benefit math, codec, image, and
digital signal processing software. FMA improves performance in face detection,
professional imaging, and high performance computing. Gather operations increase
vectorization opportunities for many applications. In addition to the vector extensions,
this generation of Intel processors adds new bit manipulation instructions useful in
compression, encryption, and general purpose software.

Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions
(Intel® AES-NI)
The processor supports Intel Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel
AES-NI) that are a set of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions that
enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption based on the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES). Intel AES-NI are valuable for a wide range of
cryptographic applications, such as applications that perform bulk encryption/
decryption, authentication, random number generation, and authenticated encryption.
AES is broadly accepted as the standard for both government and industry
applications, and is widely deployed in various protocols.
Intel AES-NI consists of six Intel SSE instructions. Four instructions, AESENC,
AESENCLAST, AESDEC, and AESDELAST facilitate high performance AES encryption
and decryption. The other two, AESIMC and AESKEYGENASSIST, support the AES key
expansion procedure. Together, these instructions provide a full hardware for
supporting AES; offering security, high performance, and a great deal of flexibility.
PCLMULQDQ Instruction
The processor supports the carry-less multiplication instruction, PCLMULQDQ.
PCLMULQDQ is a Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instruction that computes the
128-bit carry-less multiplication of two, 64-bit operands without generating and
propagating carries. Carry-less multiplication is an essential processing component of
several cryptographic systems and standards. Hence, accelerating carry-less
multiplication can significantly contribute to achieving high speed secure computing
and communication.
Intel® Secure Key
The processor supports Intel® Secure Key (formerly known as Digital Random Number
Generator (DRNG)), a software visible random number generation mechanism
supported by a high quality entropy source. This capability is available to
programmers through the RDRAND instruction. The resultant random number
generation capability is designed to comply with existing industry standards in this
regard (ANSI X9.82 and NIST SP 800-90).
Some possible usages of the RDRAND instruction include cryptographic key generation
as used in a variety of applications, including communication, digital signatures,
secure storage, and so on.
Intel® 64 Architecture x2APIC
The x2APIC architecture extends the xAPIC architecture that provides key
mechanisms for interrupt delivery. This extension is primarily intended to increase
processor addressability.
Specifically, x2APIC:
Retains all key elements of compatibility to the xAPIC architecture:
Delivery modes

Provides extensions to scale processor addressability for both the logical and
physical destination modes
Adds new features to enhance performance of interrupt delivery
Reduces complexity of logical destination mode interrupt delivery on link based
architectures
The key enhancements provided by the x2APIC architecture over xAPIC are the
following:
Support for two modes of operation to provide backward compatibility and
extensibility for future platform innovations:
In xAPIC compatibility mode, APIC registers are accessed through memory
mapped interface to a 4K-Byte page, identical to the xAPIC architecture.
In x2APIC mode, APIC registers are accessed through Model Specific Register
(MSR) interfaces. In this mode, the x2APIC architecture provides significantly
increased processor addressability and some enhancements on interrupt
delivery.
Increased range of processor addressability in x2APIC mode:
Physical xAPIC ID field increases from 8 bits to 32 bits, allowing for interrupt
processor addressability up to 4G–1 processors in physical destination mode.
A processor implementation of x2APIC architecture can support fewer than 32-
bits in a software transparent fashion.
Logical xAPIC ID field increases from 8 bits to 32 bits. The 32-bit logical
x2APIC ID is partitioned into two sub-fields – a 16-bit cluster ID and a 16-bit
logical ID within the cluster. Consequently, ((2^20) – 16) processors can be
addressed in logical destination mode. Processor implementations can support
fewer than 16 bits in the cluster ID sub-field and logical ID sub-field in a
software agnostic fashion.
More efficient MSR interface to access APIC registers:
To enhance inter-processor and self-directed interrupt delivery as well as the
ability to virtualize the local APIC, the APIC register set can be accessed only
through MSR-based interfaces in x2APIC mode. The Memory Mapped IO
(MMIO) interface used by xAPIC is not supported in x2APIC mode.
The semantics for accessing APIC registers have been revised to simplify the
programming of frequently-used APIC registers by system software. Specifically,
the software semantics for using the Interrupt Command Register (ICR) and End
Of Interrupt (EOI) registers have been modified to allow for more efficient delivery
and dispatching of interrupts.
The x2APIC extensions are made available to system software by enabling the
local x2APIC unit in the “x2APIC” mode. To benefit from x2APIC capabilities, a
new operating system and a new BIOS are both needed, with special support for
x2APIC mode.
The x2APIC architecture provides backward compatibility to the xAPIC architecture
and forward extendible for future Intel platform innovations.
Note: Intel x2APIC Technology may not be available on all SKUs.

Power Aware Interrupt Routing (PAIR)
The processor includes enhanced power-performance technology that routes
interrupts to threads or cores based on their sleep states. As an example, for energy
savings, it routes the interrupt to the active cores without waking the deep idle cores.
For performance, it routes the interrupt to the idle (C1) cores without interrupting the
already heavily loaded cores. This enhancement is mostly beneficial for high-interrupt
scenarios like Gigabit LAN, WLAN peripherals, and so on.
Execute Disable Bit
The Execute Disable Bit allows memory to be marked as executable when combined
with a supporting operating system. If code attempts to run in non-executable
memory, the processor raises an error to the operating system. This feature can
prevent some classes of viruses or worms that exploit buffer overrun vulnerabilities
and can thus help improve the overall security of the system. See the Intel® 64 and
IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manuals for more detailed information.
Intel® Boot Guard
Intel® Boot Guard can help protect the platform boot integrity by preventing execution
of unauthorized boot blocks. With Intel® Boot Guard, platform manufacturers can
create boot policies such that invocation of an unauthorized (or untrusted) boot block
will trigger the platform protection per the manufacturer's defined policy.
With verification based in the hardware, Intel® Boot Guard extends the trust boundary
of the platform boot process down to the hardware level.
Intel® Boot Guard accomplishes this by:
Providing hardware-based Static Root of Trust for Measurement (S-RTM) and the
Root of Trust for Verification (RTV) using Intel architectural components.
Providing architectural definition for platform manufacturer Boot Policy.
Enforcing manufacture provided Boot Policy using Intel architectural components.
Benefits of this protection is that Intel® Boot Guard can help maintain platform
integrity by preventing re-purposing of the manufacturer’s hardware to run an
unauthorized software stack.
Note: Intel® Boot Guard technology availability may vary between the different SKUs.
Supervisor Mode Execution Protection (SMEP)
Supervisor Mode Execution Protection provides the next level of system protection by
blocking malicious software attacks from user mode code when the system is running
in the highest privilege level. This technology helps to protect from virus attacks and
unwanted code from harming the system. For more information, refer to Intel® 64

Processor Core Power Management
While executing code, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology optimizes the
processor’s frequency and core voltage based on workload. Each frequency and
voltage operating point is defined by ACPI as a P-state. When the processor is not
executing code, it is idle. A low-power idle state is defined by ACPI as a C-state. In
general, deeper power C-states have longer entry and exit latencies.
Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep® Technology Key Features
The following are the key features of Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology:

Multiple frequency and voltage points for optimal performance and power
efficiency. These operating points are known as P-states.
Frequency selection is software controlled by writing to processor MSRs. The
voltage is optimized based on the selected frequency and the number of active
processor cores.
Once the voltage is established, the PLL locks on to the target frequency.
All active processor cores share the same frequency and voltage. In a multi-
core processor, the highest frequency P-state requested among all active
cores is selected.
Software-requested transitions are accepted at any time. If a previous
transition is in progress, the new transition is deferred until the previous
transition is completed.
The processor controls voltage ramp rates internally to ensure glitch-free
transitions.
Because there is low transition latency between P-states, a significant number of
transitions per-second are possible.
Low-Power Idle States
When the processor is idle, low-power idle states (C-states) are used to save power.
More power savings actions are taken for numerically higher C-states. However,
higher C-states have longer exit and entry latencies. Resolution of C-states occur at
the thread, processor core, and processor package level. Thread-level C-states are
available if Intel Hyper-Threading Technology is enabled.
Caution: Long term reliability cannot be assured unless all the Low-Power Idle States are
enabled.

While individual threads can request low-power C-states, power saving actions only
take place once the core C-state is resolved. Core C-states are automatically resolved
by the processor. For thread and core C-states, a transition to and from C0 is required
before entering any other C-state.
Requesting Low-Power Idle States
The primary software interfaces for requesting low-power idle states are through the
MWAIT instruction with sub-state hints and the HLT instruction (for C1 and C1E).
However, software may make C-state requests using the legacy method of I/O reads
from the ACPI-defined processor clock control registers, referred to as P_LVLx. This
method of requesting C-states provides legacy support for operating systems that
initiate C-state transitions using I/O reads.
For legacy operating systems, P_LVLx I/O reads are converted within the processor to
the equivalent MWAIT C-state request. Therefore, P_LVLx reads do not directly result
in I/O reads to the system. The feature, known as I/O MWAIT redirection, must be
enabled in the BIOS.
The BIOS can write to the C-state range field of the PMG_IO_CAPTURE MSR to restrict
the range of I/O addresses that are trapped and emulate MWAIT like functionality.
Any P_LVLx reads outside of this range do not cause an I/O redirection to MWAIT(Cx)
like request. The reads fall through like a normal I/O instruction.
Note: When P_LVLx I/O instructions are used, MWAIT sub-states cannot be defined. The
MWAIT sub-state is always zero if I/O MWAIT redirection is used. By default, P_LVLx
I/O redirections enable the MWAIT 'break on EFLAGS.IF’ feature that triggers a
wakeup on an interrupt, even if interrupts are masked by EFLAGS.IF.
Core C-State Rules
The following are general rules for all core C-states, unless specified otherwise:
A core C-state is determined by the lowest numerical thread state (such as Thread
0 requests C1E state while Thread 1 requests C3 state, resulting in a core C1E
state). See the G, S, and C Interface State Combinations table.
A core transitions to C0 state when:
An interrupt occurs
There is an access to the monitored address if the state was entered using an
MWAIT/Timed MWAIT instruction
The deadline corresponding to the Timed MWAIT instruction expires
An interrupt directed toward a single thread wakes only that thread.
If any thread in a core is in active (in C0 state), the core's C-state will resolve to
C0 state.
Any interrupt coming into the processor package may wake any core.
A system reset re-initializes all processor cores.
Core C0 State
The normal operating state of a core where code is being executed.

Core C1/C1E State
C1/C1E is a low power state entered when all threads within a core execute a HLT or
MWAIT(C1/C1E) instruction.
A System Management Interrupt (SMI) handler returns execution to either Normal
state or the C1/C1E state. See the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software
Developer’s Manual for more information.
While a core is in C1/C1E state, it processes bus snoops and snoops from other
threads. For more information on C1E state, see Package C-States on page 48.
Core C3 State
Individual threads of a core can enter the C3 state by initiating a P_LVL2 I/O read to
the P_BLK or an MWAIT(C3) instruction. A core in C3 state flushes the contents of its
L1 instruction cache, L1 data cache, and L2 cache to the shared L3 cache, while
maintaining its architectural state. All core clocks are stopped at this point. Because
the core’s caches are flushed, the processor does not wake any core that is in the C3
state when either a snoop is detected or when another core accesses cacheable
memory.
Core C6 State
Individual threads of a core can enter the C6 state by initiating a P_LVL3 I/O read or
an MWAIT(C6) instruction. Before entering core C6 state, the core will save its
architectural state to a dedicated SRAM. Once complete, a core will have its voltage
reduced to zero volts. During exit, the core is powered on and its architectural state is
restored.
Core C7-C10 States
Individual threads of a core can enter the C7, C8, C9, or C10 state by initiating a
P_LVL4, P_LVL5, P_LVL6, P_LVL7 I/O read (respectively) to the P_BLK or by an
MWAIT(C7/C8/C9/C10) instruction. The core C7–C10 state exhibits the same behavior
as the core C6 state.
C-State Auto-Demotion
In general, deeper C-states, such as C6 or C7 state, have long latencies and have
higher energy entry/exit costs. The resulting performance and energy penalties
become significant when the entry/exit frequency of a deeper C-state is high.
Therefore, incorrect or inefficient usage of deeper C-states have a negative impact on
battery life and idle power. To increase residency and improve battery life and idle
power in deeper C-states, the processor supports C-state auto-demotion.
There are two C-state auto-demotion options:
C7/C6 to C3 state
C7/C6/C3 To C1 state
The decision to demote a core from C6/C7 to C3 or C3/C6/C7 to C1 state is based on
each core’s immediate residency history and interrupt rate . If the interrupt rate
experienced on a core is high and the residence in a deep C-state between such
interrupts is low, the core can be demoted to a C3 or C1 state. A higher interrupt
pattern is required to demote a core to C1 state as compared to C3 state.

This feature is disabled by default. BIOS must enable it in the
PMG_CST_CONFIG_CONTROL register. The auto-demotion policy is also configured by
this register.
Package C-States
The processor supports C0, C1/C1E, C3, C6, C7, C8, C9, and C10 power states.The
following is a summary of the general rules for package C-state entry. These apply to
all package C-states, unless specified otherwise:
A package C-state request is determined by the lowest numerical core C-state
amongst all cores.
A package C-state is automatically resolved by the processor depending on the
core idle power states and the status of the platform components.
Each core can be at a lower idle power state than the package if the platform
does not grant the processor permission to enter a requested package C-state.
The platform may allow additional power savings to be realized in the
processor.
For package C-states, the processor is not required to enter C0 state before
entering any other C-state.
Entry into a package C-state may be subject to auto-demotion – that is, the
processor may keep the package in a deeper package C-state than requested
by the operating system if the processor determines, using heuristics, that the
deeper C-state results in better power/performance.
The processor exits a package C-state when a break event is detected. Depending on
the type of break event, the processor does the following:
If a core break event is received, the target core is activated and the break event
message is forwarded to the target core.
If the break event is not masked, the target core enters the core C0 state and
the processor enters package C0 state.
If the break event is masked, the processor attempts to re-enter its previous
package state.
If the break event was due to a memory access or snoop request,
But the platform did not request to keep the processor in a higher package C-
state, the package returns to its previous C-state.
And the platform requests a higher power C-state, the memory access or
snoop request is serviced and the package remains in the higher power C-
state.
The following table shows package C-state resolution for a dual-core processor. The
following figure summarizes package C-state transitions.

Package C0 State
This is the normal operating state for the processor. The processor remains in the
normal state when at least one of its cores is in the C0 or C1 state or when the
platform has not granted permission to the processor to go into a low-power state.
Individual cores may be in lower power idle states while the package is in C0 state.
Package C1/C1E State
No additional power reduction actions are taken in the package C1 state. However, if
the C1E sub-state is enabled, the processor automatically transitions to the lowest
supported core clock frequency, followed by a reduction in voltage.
The package enters the C1 low-power state when:
At least one core is in the C1 state.
The other cores are in a C1 or deeper power state.
The package enters the C1E state when:
All cores have directly requested C1E using MWAIT(C1) with a C1E sub-state hint.

All cores are in a power state deeper than C1/C1E state; however, the package
low-power state is limited to C1/C1E using the PMG_CST_CONFIG_CONTROL MSR.
All cores have requested C1 state using HLT or MWAIT(C1) and C1E auto-
promotion is enabled in IA32_MISC_ENABLES.
No notification to the system occurs upon entry to C1/C1E state.
Package C2 State
Package C2 state is an internal processor state that cannot be explicitly requested by
software. A processor enters Package C2 state when:
All cores and graphics have requested a C3 or deeper power state; however,
constraints (LTR, programmed timer events in the near future, and so on) prevent
entry to any state deeper than C 2 state. Or,
All cores and graphics are in the C3 or deeper power states, and a memory access
request is received. Upon completion of all outstanding memory requests, the
processor transitions back into a deeper package C-state.
Package C3 State
A processor enters the package C3 low-power state when:
At least one core is in the C3 state.
The other cores are in a C3 state or deeper power state and the processor has
been granted permission by the platform.
The platform has not granted a request to a package C6/C7 or deeper state,
however, has allowed a package C6 state.
In package C3 state, the L3 shared cache is valid.
Package C6 State
A processor enters the package C6 low-power state when:
At least one core is in the C6 state.
The other cores are in a C6 or deeper power state and the processor has been
granted permission by the platform.
The platform has not granted a package C7 state or deeper request; however, has
allowed a package C6 state.
If the cores are requesting C7 state, but the platform is limiting to a package C6
state, the last level cache in this case can be flushed.
In package C6 state all cores have saved their architectural state and have had their
core voltages reduced to zero volts. It is possible the L3 shared cache is flushed and
turned off in package C6 state. If at least one core is requesting C6 state, the L3
cache will not be flushed.
Package C7 State
The processor enters the package C7 low-power state when all cores are in the C7
state. In package C7, the processor will take action to remove power from portions of
the system agent.
Core break events are handled the same way as in package C3 or C6 state.

Package C8 State
The processor enters C8 states when the core with the highest state is C8.
The package C8 state is similar to package C7 state; however, in addition, all
internally generated voltage rails are turned off and the input VCC is reduced to 1.15 V
to 1.3 V.
Package C9 State
The processor enters package C9 states when the core with the highest state is C9.
The package C9 state is similar to package C8 state; in addition, the input VCC is
changed to 0 V.
Package C10 State
The processor enters C10 states when the core with the highest state is C10.
The package C10 state is similar to the package C9 state; in addition, the VR12.6 is in
PS4 low-power state, which is near to shut off of the VR12.6.
Dynamic L3 Cache Sizing
When all cores request C7 or deeper C-state, internal heuristics is dynamically flushes
the L3 cache. Once the cores enter a deep C-state, depending on their MWAIT
substate request, the L3 cache is either gradually flushed N-ways at a time or flushed
all at once. Upon the cores exiting to C0, the L3 cache is gradually expanded based on
internal heuristics.
Package C-States and Display Resolutions
The integrated graphics engine has the frame buffer located in system memory. When
the display is updated, the graphics engine fetches display data from system memory.
Different screen resolutions and refresh rates have different memory latency
requirements. These requirements may limit the deepest Package C-state the
processor can enter. Other elements that may affect the deepest Package C-state
available are the following:
Display is on or off
Single or multiple displays
Native or non-native resolution
Panel Self Refresh (PSR) technology
Note: Display resolution is not the only factor influencing the deepest Package C-state the
processor can get into. Device latencies, interrupt response latencies, and core C-
states are among other factors that influence the final package C-state the processor
can enter.
The following table lists display resolutions and deepest available package C-State.
The display resolutions are examples using common values for blanking and pixel
rate. Actual results will vary. The table shows the deepest possible Package C-state.
System workload, system idle, and AC or DC power also affect the deepest possible
Package C-state.

the rows are not populated. This is due to the fact that when CKE is tri-stated with
DRAMs present, the DRAMs are not ensured to maintain data integrity. CKE tri-state
should be enabled by BIOS where appropriate, since at reset all rows must be
assumed to be populated.
CKE tristate should be enabled by BIOS where appropriate, since at reset all rows
must be assumed to be populated.
DRAM Power Management and Initialization
The processor implements extensive support for power management on the memory
interface.The processor drives four CKE pins, one per rank.
The CKE is one of the power-save means. When CKE is off, the internal DDR clock is
disabled and the DDR power is reduced. The power-saving differs according to the
selected mode and the DDR type used. For more information, refer to the IDD table in
the DDR specification.

The processor supports four different types of power-down modes in package C0. The
different power-down modes can be enabled through configuring
"PM_PDWN_config_0_0_0_MCHBAR". The type of CKE power-down can be configured
through PDWN_mode (bits 15:12) and the idle timer can be configured through
PDWN_idle_counter (bits 11:0). The different power-down modes supported are:
No power-down (CKE disable)
Active power-down (APD): This mode is entered if there are open pages when
de-asserting CKE. In this mode the open pages are retained. Power-saving in this
mode is the lowest. Power consumption of DDR is defined by IDD3P. Exiting this
mode is defined by tXP – small number of cycles. For this mode, DRAM DLL must
be on.
PPD/DLL-off: In this mode the data-in DLLs on DDR are off. Power-saving in this
mode is the best among all power modes. Power consumption is defined by
IDD2P1. Exiting this mode is defined by tXP, but also tXPDLL (10–20 according to
DDR type) cycles until first data transfer is allowed. For this mode, DRAM DLL
must be off.
Pre-charged power-down (PPD): This mode is entered if all banks in DDR are
pre-charged when de-asserting CKE. Power saving in this mode is intermediate –
better than APD, but less than DLL-off. Power consumption is defined by IDD2P1.
Exiting this mode is defined by tXP. The difference from APD mode is that when
waking-up all page-buffers are empty.) The LPDDR does not have a DLL. As a
result, the power savings are as good as PPD/DLL-off, but will have lower exit
latency and higher performance.
The CKE is determined per rank, whenever it is inactive. Each rank has an idle-
counter. The idle-counter starts counting as soon as the rank has no accesses, and if
it expires, the rank may enter power-down while no new transactions to the rank
arrives to queues. The idle-counter begins counting at the last incoming transaction
arrival.
It is important to understand that since the power-down decision is per rank, the IMC
can find many opportunities to power down ranks, even while running memory
intensive applications; the savings are significant (may be few Watts, according to the
DDR specification). This is significant when each channel is populated with more
ranks.
Selection of power modes should be according to power-performance or thermal
trade-offs of a given system:
When trying to achieve maximum performance and power or thermal
consideration is not an issue – use no power-down
In a system which tries to minimize power-consumption, try using the deepest
power-down mode possible – PPD/DLL-off with a low idle timer value
In high-performance systems with dense packaging (that is, tricky thermal
design) the power-down mode should be considered in order to reduce the heating
and avoid DDR throttling caused by the heating.
The default value that BIOS configures in "PM_PDWN_config_0_0_0_MCHBAR" is
6080h – that is, PPD/DLL-off mode with idle timer of 80h, or 128 DCLKs. This is a
balanced setting with deep power-down mode and moderate idle timer value.
The idle timer expiration count defines the # of DCKLs that a rank is idle that causes
entry to the selected powermode. As this timer is set to a shorter time, the IMC will
have more opportunities to put DDR in power-down. There is no BIOS hook to set this

register. Customers choosing to change the value of this register can do it by
changing it in the BIOS. For experiments, this register can be modified in real time if
BIOS does not lock the IMC registers.
Initialization Role of CKE
During power-up, CKE is the only input to the SDRAM that has its level recognized
(other than the DDR3L/DDR3L-RS reset pin) once power is applied. It must be driven
LOW by the DDR controller to make sure the SDRAM components float DQ and DQS
during power-up. CKE signals remain LOW (while any reset is active) until the BIOS
writes to a configuration register. Using this method, CKE is ensured to remain
inactive for much longer than the specified 200 micro-seconds after power and clocks
to SDRAM devices are stable.
Conditional Self-Refresh
During S0 idle state, system memory may be conditionally placed into self-refresh
state when the processor is in package C3 or deeper power state. Refer to Intel®
Rapid Memory Power Management (Intel® RMPM) for more details on conditional self-
refresh with Intel HD Graphics enabled.
When entering the S3 – Suspend-to-RAM (STR) state or S0 conditional self-refresh,
the processor core flushes pending cycles and then enters SDRAM ranks that are not
used by Intel graphics memory into self-refresh. The CKE signals remain LOW so the
SDRAM devices perform self-refresh.
The target behavior is to enter self-refresh for package C3 or deeper power states as
long as there are no memory requests to service. The target usage is shown in the
following table.

Dynamic Power-Down
Dynamic power-down of memory is employed during normal operation. Based on idle
conditions, a given memory rank may be powered down. The IMC implements
aggressive CKE control to dynamically put the DRAM devices in a power-down state.
The processor core controller can be configured to put the devices in active power-
down (CKE de-assertion with open pages) or pre-charge power-down (CKE de-
assertion with all pages closed). Pre-charge power-down provides greater power
savings, but has a bigger performance impact since all pages will first be closed before
putting the devices in power-down mode.

If dynamic power-down is enabled, all ranks are powered up before doing a refresh
cycle and all ranks are powered down at the end of refresh.
DRAM I/O Power Management
Unused signals should be disabled to save power and reduce electromagnetic
interference. This includes all signals associated with an unused memory channel.
Clocks, CKE, ODE, and CS signals are controlled per DIMM rank and will be powered
down for unused ranks.
The I/O buffer for an unused signal should be tri-stated (output driver disabled), the
input receiver (differential sense-amp) should be disabled, and any DLL circuitry
related ONLY to unused signals should be disabled. The input path must be gated to
prevent spurious results due to noise on the unused signals (typically handled
automatically when input receiver is disabled).
DDR Electrical Power Gating (EPG)
The DDR I/O of the processor supports Electrical Power Gating (DDR-EPG) while the
processor is at C3 or deeper power state.
In C3 or deeper power state, the processor internally gates VDDQ for the majority of
the logic to reduce idle power while keeping all critical DDR pins such as CKE and
VREF in the appropriate state.
In C7 or deeper power state, the processor internally gates VccST for all non-critical
state to reduce idle power.
In S3 or C-state transitions, the DDR does not go through training mode and will
restore the previous training information.
Graphics Power Management
Intel® Rapid Memory Power Management (Intel® RMPM)
Intel Rapid Memory Power Management (Intel RMPM) conditionally places memory
into self-refresh when the processor is in package C3 or deeper power state to allow
the system to remain in the lower power states longer for memory not reserved for
graphics memory. Intel RMPM functionality depends on graphics/display state
(relevant only when processor graphics is being used), as well as memory traffic
patterns generated by other connected I/O devices.
Graphics Render C-State
Render C-state (RC6) is a technique designed to optimize the average power to the
graphics render engine during times of idleness. RC6 is entered when the graphics
render engine, blitter engine, and the video engine have no workload being currently
worked on and no outstanding graphics memory transactions. When the idleness
condition is met, the processor graphics will program the graphics render engine
internal power rail into a low voltage state.

Intel® Smart 2D Display Technology (Intel® S2DDT)
Intel S2DDT reduces display refresh memory traffic by reducing memory reads
required for display refresh. Power consumption is reduced by less accesses to the
IMC. Intel S2DDT is only enabled in single pipe mode.
Intel S2DDT is most effective with:
Display images well suited to compression, such as text windows, slide shows, and
so on. Poor examples are 3D games.
Static screens such as screens with significant portions of the background showing
2D applications, processor benchmarks, and so on, or conditions when the
processor is idle. Poor examples are full-screen 3D games and benchmarks that
flip the display image at or near display refresh rates.
Intel® Graphics Dynamic Frequency
Intel Graphics Dynamic Frequency Technology is the ability of the processor and
graphics cores to opportunistically increase frequency and/or voltage above the
guaranteed processor and graphics frequency for the given part. Intel Graphics
Dynamic Frequency Technology is a performance feature that makes use of unused
package power and thermals to increase application performance. The increase in
frequency is determined by how much power and thermal budget is available in the
package, and the application demand for additional processor or graphics
performance. The processor core control is maintained by an embedded controller.
The graphics driver dynamically adjusts between P-States to maintain optimal
performance, power, and thermals. The graphics driver will always try to place the
graphics engine in the most energy efficient P-state.
Intel® Display Power Saving Technology (Intel® DPST)
The Intel DPST technique achieves backlight power savings while maintaining a good
visual experience. This is accomplished by adaptively enhancing the displayed image
while decreasing the backlight brightness simultaneously. The goal of this technique is
to provide equivalent end-user-perceived image quality at a decreased backlight
power level.
1. The original (input) image produced by the operating system or application is
analyzed by the Intel DPST subsystem. An interrupt to Intel DPST software is
generated whenever a meaningful change in the image attributes is detected. (A
meaningful change is when the Intel DPST software algorithm determines that
enough brightness, contrast, or color change has occurred to the displaying
images that the image enhancement and backlight control needs to be altered.)
2. Intel DPST subsystem applies an image-specific enhancement to increase image
contrast, brightness, and other attributes.
3. A corresponding decrease to the backlight brightness is applied simultaneously to
produce an image with similar user-perceived quality (such as brightness) as the
original image.
Intel DPST 6.0 has improved the software algorithms and has minor hardware
changes to better handle backlight phase-in and ensures the documented and
validated method to interrupt hardware phase-in.

Intel® Automatic Display Brightness
The Intel Automatic Display Brightness feature dynamically adjusts the backlight
brightness based upon the current ambient light environment. This feature requires an
additional sensor to be on the panel front. The sensor receives the changing ambient
light conditions and sends the interrupts to the Intel Graphics driver. As per the
change in Lux, (current ambient light illuminance), the new backlight setting can be
adjusted through BLC. The converse applies for a brightly lit environment. Intel
Automatic Display Brightness increases the backlight setting.
Intel® Seamless Display Refresh Rate Technology (Intel®
SDRRS Technology)
When a Local Flat Panel (LFP) supports multiple refresh rates, the Intel Display
Refresh Rate Switching power conservation feature can be enabled. The higher refresh
rate will be used when plugged in with an AC power adaptor or when the end user has
not selected/enabled this feature. The graphics software will automatically switch to a
lower refresh rate for maximum battery life when the notebook is on battery power
and when the user has selected/enabled this feature. There are two distinct
implementations of Intel DRRS – static and seamless. The static Intel DRRS method
uses a mode change to assign the new refresh rate. The seamless Intel DRRS method
is able to accomplish the refresh rate assignment without a mode change and
therefore does not experience some of the visual artifacts associated with the mode
change (SetMode) method.

5.0 Thermal Management
The thermal solution provides both component-level and system-level thermal
management. To allow for the optimal operation and long-term reliability of Intel
processor-based systems, the system/processor thermal solution should be designed
so that the processor:
Remains below the maximum junction temperature (TjMax) specification at the
maximum thermal design power (TDP).
Conforms to system constraints, such as system acoustics, system skin-
temperatures, and exhaust-temperature requirements.
Caution: Thermal specifications given in this chapter are on the component and
package level and apply specifically to the processor. Operating the processor outside
the specified limits may result in permanent damage to the processor and potentially
other components in the system.
Thermal Considerations
The processor TDP is the maximum sustained power that should be used for design of
the processor thermal solution. TDP represents an expected maximum sustained
power from realistic applications. TDP may be exceeded for short periods of time or if
running a "power virus" workload.
The processor integrates multiple processing and graphics cores and PCH on a single
package.This may result in differences in the power distribution across the die and
must be considered when designing the thermal solution.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows processor cores and processor graphics
cores to run faster than the guaranteed frequency. It is invoked opportunistically and
automatically as long as the processor is conforming to its temperature, power
delivery, and current specification limits. When Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 is
enabled:
Applications are expected to run closer to TDP more often as the processor will
attempt to maximize performance by taking advantage of available TDP headroom
in the processor package.
The processor may exceed the TDP for short durations to use any available
thermal capacitance within the thermal solution. The duration and time of such
operation can be limited by platform runtime configurable registers within the
processor.
Thermal solutions and platform cooling that are designed to less than thermal
design guidance may experience thermal and performance issues since more
applications will tend to run at or near TDP for significant periods of time.
Note: Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 availability may vary between the different SKUs.

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 Power Monitoring
When operating in turbo mode, the processor monitors its own power and adjusts the
turbo frequencies to maintain the average power within limits over a thermally
significant time period. The processor calculates the package power that consists of
the processor core power and graphics core power. In the event that a workload
causes the power to exceed program power limits, the processor will protect itself
using the Adaptive Thermal Monitor.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 Power Control
Illustration of Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 power control is shown in the
following sections and figures. Multiple controls operate simultaneously allowing for
customization for multiple system thermal and power limitations. These controls allow
for turbo optimizations within system constraints and are accessible using MSR, MMIO,
or PECI interfaces
Package Power Control
The package power control allows for customization to implement optimal turbo within
platform power delivery and package thermal solution limitations.

MSR:
Address:
MSR_TURBO_POWER_LIMIT

Control Bit Default Description
POWER_LIMIT_1 (PL1) 14:0 SKU TDP
This value sets the average power limit over a long time
period. This is normally aligned to the TDP of the part and
steady-state cooling capability of the thermal solution. The
default value is the TDP for the SKU.
PL1 limit may be set lower than TDP in real time for specific
needs, such as responding to a thermal event. If it is set
lower than TDP, the processor may require to use frequencies
below the guaranteed P1 frequency to control the low-power
limits. The PL1 Clamp bit [16] should be set to enable the
processor to use frequencies below P1 to control the set-
power limit.
PL1 limit may be set higher than TDP. If set higher than TDP,
the processor could stay at that power level continuously and
cooling solution improvements may be required.
POWER_LIMIT_1_TIME
(Turbo Time Parameter) 23:17 1 sec
This value is a time parameter that adjusts the algorithm
behavior to maintain time averaged power at or below PL1. The
hardware default value is 1 second; however, 28 seconds is
recommended for most mobile applications.
POWER_LIMIT_2 (PL2) 46:32 1.25 x TDP
PL2 establishes the upper power limit of turbo operation above
TDP, primarily for platform power supply considerations. Power
may exceed this limit for up to 10 ms. The default for this limit is
1.25 x TDP; however, the BIOS may reprogram the default value
to maximize the performance within platform power supply
considerations. Setting this limit to TDP will limit the processor to
only operate up to the TDP. It does not disable turbo because
turbo is opportunistic and power/temperature dependent. Many
workloads will allow some turbo frequencies for powers at or
below TDP.

Turbo Time Parameter
Turbo Time Parameter is a mathematical parameter (units in seconds) that controls
the Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 algorithm using moving average of energy
usage. During a maximum power turbo event of about 1.25 x TDP, the processor
could sustain PL2 for up to approximately 1.5 times the Turbo Time Parameter. If the
power value and/or Turbo Time Parameter is changed during runtime, it may take
approximately 3 to 5 times the Turbo Time Parameter for the algorithm to settle at the
new control limits. The time varies depending on the magnitude of the change and
other factors. There is an individual Turbo Time Parameter associated with Package
Power Control.
Configurable TDP (cTDP) and Low-Power Mode
Configurable TDP (cTDP) and Low-Power Mode (LPM) form a design vector where the
processor's behavior and package TDP are dynamically adjusted to a desired system
performance and power envelope. Configurable TDP and Low-Power Mode
technologies offer opportunities to differentiate system design while running active
workloads on select processor SKUs through scalability, configuration and adaptability.
The scenarios or methods by which each technology is used are customizable but
typically involve changes to PL1 and associated frequencies for the scenario with a
resultant change in performance depending on system's usage. Either technology can
be triggered by (but are not limited to) changes in OS power policies or hardware
events such as docking a system, flipping a switch or pressing a button. cTDP and LPM
are designed to be configured dynamically and do not require an operating system
reboot.
Note: Configurable TDP and Low-Power Mode technologies are not battery life improvement
technologies.
Configurable TDP
Note: Configurable TDP availability may vary between the different SKUs.
With cTDP, the processor is now capable of altering the maximum sustained power
with an alternate IA core base frequency. Configurable TDP allows operation in
situations where extra cooling is available or situations where a cooler and quieter
mode of operation is desired. Configurable TDP can be enabled using Intel's DPTF
driver or through HW/EC firmware. Enabling cTDP using the DPTF driver is
recommended as Intel does not provide specific application or EC source code.

cTDP consists of three modes as shown in the following table.
Table 21. Configurable TDP Modes
Mode Description
Nominal This is the processor's rated frequency and TDP.
TDP-Up When extra cooling is available, this mode specifies a higher TDP and higher
guaranteed frequency versus the nominal mode.
TDP-Down When a cooler or quieter mode of operation is desired, this mode specifies a lower TDP
and lower guaranteed frequency versus the nominal mode.
In each mode, the Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 power and frequency ranges are
reprogrammed and the OS is given a new effective HFM operating point. The Intel
DPTF driver assists in all these operations. The cTDP mode does not change the max
per-core turbo frequency.
Low-Power Mode
Low-Power Mode (LPM) can provide cooler and quieter system operation. By
combining several active power limiting techniques, the processor can consume less
power while running at equivalent low frequencies. Active power is defined as
processor power consumed while a workload is running and does not refer to the
power consumed during idle modes of operation. LPM is only available using the Intel
DPTF driver.
Through the DPTF driver, LPM can be configured to use each of the following methods
to reduce active power:
Restricting Intel Turbo Boost Power limits and IA core Turbo Boost availability
Off-Lining core activity (Move processor traffic to a subset of cores)
Placing an IA Core at LFM or LSF (Lowest Supported Frequency)
Utilizing IA clock modulation
Reducing number of active EUs to GT2 equivalent (Applicable for GT3 SKUs Only)
LPM power as listed in the TDP Specifications table is defined at a point which IA
cores working at MFM, GT = RPn and 1 core active
Off-lining core activity is the ability to dynamically scale a workload to a limited subset
of cores in conjunction with a lower turbo power limit. It is one of the main vectors
available to reduce active power. However, not all processor activity is ensured to be
able to shift to a subset of cores. Shifting a workload to a limited subset of cores
allows other cores to remain idle and save power. Therefore, when LPM is enabled,
less power is consumed at equivalent frequencies.
Minimum Frequency Mode (MFM) of operation, which is the lowest supported
frequency (LSF) at the LFM voltage, has been made available for use under LPM for
further reduction in active power beyond LFM capability to enable cooler and quieter
modes of operation.

limits can be found in the PKG_PWR_SKU MSR (614h).
19 May vary based on SKU.
20 cTDP down power is based on GT2 equivalent graphics configuration. cTDP down does not decrease the number of
active Processor Graphics EUs, but relies on Power Budget Management (PL1) to achieve the specified power level.

Thermal Management Features
Occasionally the processor may operate in conditions that are near to its maximum
operating temperature. This can be due to internal overheating or overheating within
the platform. To protect the processor and the platform from thermal failure, several
thermal management features exist to reduce package power consumption and
thereby temperature in order to remain within normal operating limits. Furthermore,
the processor supports several methods to reduce memory power.
Adaptive Thermal Monitor
The purpose of the Adaptive Thermal Monitor is to reduce processor core power
consumption and temperature until it operates at or below its maximum operating
temperature. Processor core power reduction is achieved by:
Adjusting the operating frequency (using the core ratio multiplier) and voltage.
Modulating (starting and stopping) the internal processor core clocks (duty cycle).
The Adaptive Thermal Monitor can be activated when the package temperature,
monitored by any digital thermal sensor (DTS) meets or exceeds its maximum
operating temperature. The maximum operating temperature implies either maximum
junction temperature TjMAX, or TjMAX minus TCC Activation offset.
Exceeding the maximum operating temperature activates the thermal control circuit
(TCC), if enabled. When activated the thermal control circuit (TCC) causes both the
processor core and graphics core to reduce frequency and voltage adaptively. The
Adaptive Thermal Monitor will remain active as long as the package temperature
exceeds its specified limit. Therefore, the Adaptive Thermal Monitor will continue to
reduce the package frequency and voltage until the TCC is de-activated.
TjMAX is factory calibrated and is not user configurable. The default value is software
visible in the TEMPERATURE_TARGET (0x1A2) MSR, bits [23:16]. The
TEMPERATURE_TARGET value stays the same when TCC Activation offset is enabled.

The Adaptive Thermal Monitor does not require any additional hardware, software
drivers, or interrupt handling routines. It is not intended as a mechanism to maintain
processor TDP. The system design should provide a thermal solution that can maintain
TDP within its intended usage range.
Note: Adaptive Thermal Monitor protection is always enabled.
Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) Activation Offset
TCC Activation Offset can be used to activate the Adaptive Thermal Monitor at
temperatures lower than TjMAX. It is the preferred thermal protection mechanism for
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 operation since ACPI passive throttling states will
pull the processor out of turbo mode operation when triggered. An offset (in degrees
Celsius) can be written to the TEMPERATURE_TARGET (0x1A2) MSR, bits [29:24]. This
value will be subtracted from the value found in bits [23:16]. The default offset is
0 °C, TCC activation will occur at TjMAX. The offset should be set lower than any other
protection such as ACPI _PSV trip points.
Frequency / Voltage Control
Upon Adaptive Thermal Monitor activation, the processor core attempts to dynamically
reduce processor core power by lowering the frequency and voltage operating point.
The operating points are automatically calculated by the processor core itself and do
not require the BIOS to program them as with previous generations of Intel
processors. The processor core will scale the operating points such that:
The voltage will be optimized according to the temperature, the core bus ratio,
and number of cores in deep C-states.
The core power and temperature are reduced while minimizing performance
degradation.
Once the temperature has dropped below the maximum operating temperature, the
operating frequency and voltage will transition back to the normal system operating
point.
Once a target frequency/bus ratio is resolved, the processor core will transition to the
new target automatically.
On an upward operating point transition, the voltage transition precedes the
frequency transition.
On a downward transition, the frequency transition precedes the voltage
transition.
The processor continues to execute instructions. However, the processor will halt
instruction execution for frequency transitions.
If a processor load-based Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology/P-state transition
(through MSR write) is initiated while the Adaptive Thermal Monitor is active, there
are two possible outcomes:
If the P-state target frequency is higher than the processor core optimized target
frequency, the P-state transition will be deferred until the thermal event has been
completed.
If the P-state target frequency is lower than the processor core optimized target
frequency, the processor will transition to the P-state operating point.

Clock Modulation
If the frequency/voltage changes are unable to end an Adaptive Thermal Monitor
event, the Adaptive Thermal Monitor will utilize clock modulation. Clock modulation is
done by alternately turning the clocks off and on at a duty cycle (ratio between clock
"on" time and total time) specific to the processor. The duty cycle is factory configured
to 25% on and 75% off and cannot be modified. The period of the duty cycle is
configured to 32 microseconds when the Adaptive Thermal Monitor is active. Cycle
times are independent of processor frequency. A small amount of hysteresis has been
included to prevent excessive clock modulation when the processor temperature is
near its maximum operating temperature. Once the temperature has dropped below
the maximum operating temperature, and the hysteresis timer has expired, the
Adaptive Thermal Monitor goes inactive and clock modulation ceases. Clock
modulation is automatically engaged as part of the Adaptive Thermal Monitor
activation when the frequency/voltage targets are at their minimum settings.
Processor performance will be decreased by the same amount as the duty cycle when
clock modulation is active. Snooping and interrupt processing are performed in the
normal manner while the Adaptive Thermal Monitor is active.
Digital Thermal Sensor
Each processor execution core has an on-die Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) that
detects the core's instantaneous temperature. The DTS is the preferred method of
monitoring processor die temperature because:
It is located near the hottest portions of the die.
It can accurately track the die temperature and ensure that the Adaptive Thermal
Monitor is not excessively activated.
Temperature values from the DTS can be retrieved through:
A software interface using processor Model Specific Register (MSR).
A processor hardware interface as described in Platform Environmental Control
Interface (PECI) on page 29.
When temperature is retrieved by the processor MSR, it is the instantaneous
temperature of the given core. When temperature is retrieved using PECI, it is the
average of the highest DTS temperature in the package over a 256 ms time window.
Intel recommends using the PECI reported temperature for platform thermal control
that benefits from averaging, such as fan speed control. The average DTS
temperature may not be a good indicator of package Adaptive Thermal Monitor
activation or rapid increases in temperature that triggers the Out of Specification
status bit within the PACKAGE_THERM_STATUS MSR 1B1h and IA32_THERM_STATUS
MSR 19Ch.
Code execution is halted in C1 or deeper C-states. Package temperature can still be
monitored through PECI in lower C-states.
Unlike traditional thermal devices, the DTS outputs a temperature relative to the
maximum supported operating temperature of the processor (TjMAX), regardless of
TCC activation offset. It is the responsibility of software to convert the relative
temperature to an absolute temperature. The absolute reference temperature is
readable in the TEMPERATURE_TARGET MSR 1A2h. The temperature returned by the
DTS is an implied negative integer indicating the relative offset from TjMAX. The DTS
does not report temperatures greater than TjMAX. The DTS-relative temperature
readout directly impacts the Adaptive Thermal Monitor trigger point. When a package

DTS indicates that it has reached the TCC activation (a reading of 0h, except when the
TCC activation offset is changed), the TCC will activate and indicate an Adaptive
Thermal Monitor event. A TCC activation will lower both IA core and graphics core
frequency, voltage, or both. Changes to the temperature can be detected using two
programmable thresholds located in the processor thermal MSRs. These thresholds
have the capability of generating interrupts using the core's local APIC. Refer to the
Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual for specific register
and programming details.
Digital Thermal Sensor Accuracy (Taccuracy)
The error associated with DTS measurements will not exceed ±5 °C within the entire
operating range.
Fan Speed Control with Digital Thermal Sensor
Digital Thermal Sensor based fan speed control (TFAN) is a recommended feature to
achieve optimal thermal performance. At the TFAN temperature, Intel recommends full
cooling capability well before the DTS reading reaches TjMAX.
PROCHOT# Signal
PROCHOT# (processor hot) is asserted when the processor temperature has reached
its maximum operating temperature (TjMAX). Only a single PROCHOT# pin exists at a
package level. When any core arrives at the TCC activation point, the PROCHOT#
signal will be asserted. PROCHOT# assertion policies are independent of Adaptive
Thermal Monitor enabling.
Bi-Directional PROCHOT#
By default, the PROCHOT# signal is set to bi-directional. However, it is recommended
to configure the signal as an input only. When configured as an input or bi-directional
signal, PROCHOT# can be used for thermally protecting other platform components in
case the components overheat as well. When PROCHOT# is driven by an external
device:
The package will immediately transition to the lowest P-State (Pn) supported by
the processor and graphics cores. This is contrary to the internally-generated
Adaptive Thermal Monitor response.
Clock modulation is not activated.
The processor package will remain at the lowest supported P-state until the system
de-asserts PROCHOT#. The processor can be configured to generate an interrupt upon
assertion and de-assertion of the PROCHOT# signal.
Note: When PROCHOT# is configured as a bi-directional signal and PROCHOT# is asserted
by the processor, it is impossible for the processor to detect a system assertion of
PROCHOT#. The system assertion will have to wait until the processor de-asserts
PROCHOT# before PROCHOT# action can occur due to the system assertion. While the
processor is hot and asserting PROCHOT#, the power is reduced; however, the
reduction rate is slower than the system PROCHOT# response of < 100 us. The
processor thermal control is staged in smaller increments over many milliseconds. This
may cause several milliseconds of delay to a system assertion of PROCHOT# while the
output function is asserted.

Voltage Regulator Protection using PROCHOT#
PROCHOT# may be used for thermal protection of voltage regulators (VR). System
designers can create a circuit to monitor the VR temperature and assert PROCHOT#
and, if enabled, activate the TCC when the temperature limit of the VR is reached.
When PROCHOT# is configured as a bi-directional or input only signal, if the system
assertion of PROCHOT# is recognized by the processor, it will result in an immediate
transition to the lowest P-State (Pn) supported by the processor and graphics cores.
Systems should still provide proper cooling for the VR and rely on bi-directional
PROCHOT# only as a backup in case of system cooling failure. Overall, the system
thermal design should allow the power delivery circuitry to operate within its
temperature specification even while the processor is operating at its TDP.
Thermal Solution Design and PROCHOT# Behavior
With a properly designed and characterized thermal solution, it is anticipated that
PROCHOT# will only be asserted for very short periods of time when running the most
power intensive applications. The processor performance impact due to these brief
periods of TCC activation is expected to be so minor that it would be immeasurable.
However, an under-designed thermal solution that is not able to prevent excessive
assertion of PROCHOT# in the anticipated ambient environment may:
Cause a noticeable performance loss.
Result in prolonged operation at or above the specified maximum junction
temperature and affect the long-term reliability of the processor.
May be incapable of cooling the processor even when the TCC is active
continuously (in extreme situations).
Low-Power States and PROCHOT# Behavior
Depending on package power levels during package C-states, outbound PROCHOT#
may de-assert while the processor is idle as power is removed from the signal. Upon
wakeup, if the processor is still hot, the PROCHOT# will re-assert, although typically
package idle state residency should resolve any thermal issues. The PECI interface is
fully operational during all C-states and it is expected that the platform continues to
manage processor core and package thermals even during idle states by regularly
polling for thermal data over PECI.
THERMTRIP# Signal
Regardless of enabling the automatic or on-demand modes, in the event of a
catastrophic cooling failure, the package will automatically shut down when the silicon
has reached an elevated temperature that risks physical damage to the product. At
this point the THERMTRIP# signal will go active.
Critical Temperature Detection
Critical Temperature detection is performed by monitoring the package temperature.
This feature is intended for graceful shutdown before the THERMTRIP# is activated.
However, the processor execution is not guaranteed between critical temperature and
THERMTRIP#. If the Adaptive Thermal Monitor is triggered and the temperature
remains high, a critical temperature status and sticky bit are latched in the
PACKAGE_THERM_STATUS MSR 1B1h and the condition also generates a thermal
interrupt, if enabled. For more details on the interrupt mechanism, refer to the Intel®
64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual.

On-Demand Mode
The processor provides an auxiliary mechanism that allows system software to force
the processor to reduce its power consumption using clock modulation. This
mechanism is referred to as "On-Demand" mode and is distinct from Adaptive Thermal
Monitor and bi-directional PROCHOT#. The processor platforms must not rely on
software usage of this mechanism to limit the processor temperature. On-Demand
Mode can be accomplished using processor MSR or chipset I/O emulation. On-Demand
Mode may be used in conjunction with the Adaptive Thermal Monitor. However, if the
system software tries to enable On-Demand mode at the same time the TCC is
engaged, the factory configured duty cycle of the TCC will override the duty cycle
selected by the On-Demand mode. If the I/O based and MSR-based On-Demand
modes are in conflict, the duty cycle selected by the I/O emulation-based On-Demand
mode will take precedence over the MSR-based On-Demand Mode.
MSR Based On-Demand Mode
If Bit 4 of the IA32_CLOCK_MODULATION MSR is set to a 1, the processor will
immediately reduce its power consumption using modulation of the internal core clock,
independent of the processor temperature. The duty cycle of the clock modulation is
programmable using bits [3:1] of the same IA32_CLOCK_MODULATION MSR. In this
mode, the duty cycle can be programmed in either 12.5% or 6.25% increments
(discoverable using CPUID). Thermal throttling using this method will modulate each
processor core's clock independently.
I/O Emulation-Based On-Demand Mode
I/O emulation-based clock modulation provides legacy support for operating system
software that initiates clock modulation through I/O writes to ACPI defined processor
clock control registers on the chipset (PROC_CNT). Thermal throttling using this
method will modulate all processor cores simultaneously.
Intel® Memory Thermal Management
The processor provides thermal protection for system memory by throttling memory
traffic when using either DIMM modules or a memory down implementation. Two
levels of throttling are supported by the processor – either a warm threshold or hot
threshold that is customizable through memory mapped I/O registers. Throttling
based on the warm threshold should be an intermediate level of throttling. Throttling
based on the hot threshold should be the most severe. The amount of throttling is
dynamically controlled by the processor.
Memory temperature can be acquired through an on-board thermal sensor (TS-on-
Board), retrieved by an embedded controller and reported to the processor through
the PECI 3.0 interface. This methodology is known as PECI injected temperatures and
is a method of Closed Loop Thermal Management (CLTM). CLTM requires the use of a
physical thermal sensor. EXTTS# is another method of CLTM; however, it is only
capable of reporting memory thermal status to the processor. EXTTS# consists of two
GPIO pins on the PCH where the state of the pins is communicated internally to the
processor.

When a physical thermal sensor is not available to report temperature, the processor
supports Open Loop Thermal Management (OLTM) that estimates the power
consumed per rank of the memory using the processor DRAM power meter. A per rank
power is associated with the warm and hot thresholds that, when exceeded, may
trigger memory thermal throttling.
Scenario Design Power (SDP)
Scenario Design Power (SDP) is a usage-based design specification, and provides an
additional reference design point for power constrained platforms. SDP is a specified
power level under a specific scenario workload, temperature, and frequency.
Intel recommends setting POWER_LIMIT_1 (PL1) to the system cooling capability
(SDP level, or higher). While the SDP specification is characterized at Tj of 80 °C, the
functional limit for the product remains at TjMAX. Customers may choose to have the
processor invoke TCC Activation Throttling at 80 °C, but is not required.
The processors that have SDP specified can still exceed SDP under certain workloads,
such as TDP workloads. TDP power dissipation is still possible with the intended usage
models, and protection mechanisms to handle levels beyond cooling capabilities are
recommended. Intel recommends using such thermal control mechanisms to manage
situations where power may exceed the thermal design capability.
Note: cTDP-Down mode is required for Intel® Core processor products in order to achieve
SDP.
Note: Although SDP is defined at 80 °C, the TCC activation temperature is 100 °C, and may
be changed in BIOS to 80 °C.

7.0 Electrical Specifications
This chapter provides the processor electrical specifications including integrated
voltage regulator (VR), VCC Voltage Identification (VID), reserved and unused signals,
signal groups, Test Access Points (TAP), and DC specifications.
Integrated Voltage Regulator
A new feature to the processor is the integration of platform voltage regulators into
the processor. Due to this integration, the processor has one main voltage rail (VCC)
and a voltage rail for the memory interface (VDDQ) , compared to six voltage rails on
previous processors. The VCC voltage rail will supply the integrated voltage regulators
which in turn will regulate to the appropriate voltages for the cores, cache, system
agent, and graphics. This integration allows the processor to better control on-die
voltages to optimize between performance and power savings. The processor VCC rail
will remain a VID-based voltage with a loadline similar to the core voltage rail (also
called VCC) in previous processors.
Power and Ground Pins
The processor has VCC, VDDQ, and VSS (ground) pins for on-chip power distribution.
All power pins must be connected to their respective processor power planes; all VSS
pins must be connected to the system ground plane. Use of multiple power and
ground planes is recommended to reduce I*R drop. The VCC pins must be supplied
with the voltage determined by the processor Serial Voltage IDentification (SVID)
interface. Table 41 on page 83 specifies the voltage level for the various VIDs.
VCC Voltage Identification (VID)
The processor uses three signals for the serial voltage identification interface to
support automatic selection of voltages. The following table specifies the voltage level
corresponding to the 8-bit VID value transmitted over serial VID. A ‘1’ in this table
refers to a high voltage level and a ‘0’ refers to a low voltage level. If the voltage
regulation circuit cannot supply the voltage that is requested, the voltage regulator
must disable itself. VID signals are CMOS push/pull drivers. See the Voltage and
Current Specifications section for the DC specifications for these signals. The VID
codes will change due to temperature and/or current load changes to minimize the
power of the part. A voltage range is provided in the Voltage and Current
Specifications section. The specifications are set so that one voltage regulator can
operate with all supported frequencies.
Individual processor VID values may be set during manufacturing so that two devices
at the same core frequency may have different default VID settings. This is shown in
the VID range values in the Voltage and Current Specifications section. The processor
provides the ability to operate while transitioning to an adjacent VID and its
associated voltage. This will represent a DC shift in the loadline.

Reserved or Unused Signals
The following are the general types of reserved (RSVD) signals and connection
guidelines:
RSVD – these signals should not be connected
RSVD_TP – these signals should be routed to a test point
RSVD_NCTF – these signals are non-critical to function and may be left un-
connected
Arbitrary connection of these signals to VCC, VDDQ, VSS, or to any other signal
(including each other) may result in component malfunction or incompatibility with
future processors. See Signal Description on page 72 for a pin listing of the processor
and the location of all reserved signals.
For reliable operation, always connect unused inputs or bi-directional signals to an
appropriate signal level. Unused active high inputs should be connected through a
resistor to ground (VSS). Unused outputs maybe left unconnected; however, this may
interfere with some Test Access Port (TAP) functions, complicate debug probing, and
prevent boundary scan testing. A resistor must be used when tying bi-directional
signals to power or ground. When tying any signal to power or ground, a resistor will
also allow for system testability.
Signal Groups
Signals are grouped by buffer type and similar characteristics as listed in the following
table. The buffer type indicates which signaling technology and specifications apply to
the signals. All the differential signals and selected DDR3L/DDR3L-RS/LPDDR3 and
Control Sideband signals have On-Die Termination (ODT) resistors. Some signals do
not have ODT and need to be terminated on the board.
Note: All Control Sideband Asynchronous signals are required to be asserted/de-asserted for
at least 10 BCLKs with maximum Trise/Tfall of 6 ns for the processor to recognize the
proper signal state. See the DC Specifications section and AC Specifications section.

2. SA and SB refer to DDR3L/DDR3L-RS Channel A and DDR3L/DDR3L-RS Channel B.
Test Access Port (TAP) Connection
Due to the voltage levels supported by other components in the Test Access Port
(TAP) logic, Intel recommends the processor be first in the TAP chain, followed by any
other components within the system. A translation buffer should be used to connect to
the rest of the chain unless one of the other components is capable of accepting an
input of the appropriate voltage. Two copies of each signal may be required with each
driving a different voltage level.
The processor supports Boundary Scan (JTAG) IEEE 1149.1-2001 and IEEE
1149.6-2003 standards. A few of the I/O pins may support only one of those
standards.

The processor DC specifications in this section are defined at the processor pins,

Notes: 1. Unless otherwise noted, all specifications in this table are based on estimates and simulations or
empirical data.
2. Each processor is programmed with a maximum valid voltage identification value (VID) that is
set at manufacturing and cannot be altered. Individual maximum VID values are calibrated
during manufacturing such that two processors at the same frequency may have different
settings within the VID range. Note that this differs from the VID employed by the processor
during a power management event (Adaptive Thermal Monitor, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep
Technology, or Low-Power States).
3. The voltage specification requirements are measured across VCC_SENSE and VSS_SENSE lands
at the socket with a 20 MHz bandwidth oscilloscope, 1.5 pF maximum probe capacitance, and 1
MΩ minimum impedance. The maximum length of ground wire on the probe should be less than
5 mm. Ensure external noise from the system is not coupled into the oscilloscope probe.
4. Processor core VR to be designed to electrically support this current.
5. Processor core VR to be designed to thermally support this current indefinitely.
6. Long term reliability cannot be assured if tolerance, ripple, and core noise parameters are
violated.
7. Long term reliability cannot be assured in conditions above or below Maximum/Minimum
functional limits.
8. PSx refers to the voltage regulator power state as set by the SVID protocol.
