3Functional Description
The following sections describe the VPX6000 features and
functions.
3.1Processors
The 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 Processor is the next generation of 64-bit, multi-core mobile processors built on 22-nanometer
process technology. Based on a new micro-architecture, the processor is designed for a two-chip platform. The two-chip platform
consists of a processor and Platform Controller Hub (PCH). The
platform enables higher performance, lower cost, easier validation, and improved x-y footprint. The processor includes an integrated display engine, processor graphics, integrated memory
controller, and integrated I/O on a single silicon die.

Functional Description 15
3.3Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
Intel Turbo Boost Technology is a feature that allows the processor
to opportunistically and automatically run faster than its rated
operating core and/or render clock frequency when there is sufficient power headroom, and the product is within specified temperature and current limits. The Intel Turbo Boost Technology feature
is designed to increase performance of both multi-threaded and
single-threaded workloads. The processor supports a Turbo mode
where the processor can use the thermal capacity associated with
package and run at power levels higher than TDP power for short
durations. This improves the system responsiveness for short,
bursty usage conditions.
Turbo Mode availability is independent of the number of active
cores; however, the Turbo Mode frequency is dynamic and dependent on the instantaneous application power load, the number of
active cores, user configurable settings, operating environment,
and system design. If the power, current, or thermal limit is
reached, the processor will automatically reduce the frequency to
stay with its TDP limit.
3.4Intel® Hyper Threading 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.
3.5Real Time Clock
The Intel® QM87 PCH contains a Motorola MC146818B-compatible real-time clock (RTC) with 256 bytes of RAM. The real-time
clock performs two key functions: keeping track of the time of day
and storing system data. The RTC operates on a 32.768 KHz
crystal and is powered by P3V3_AUX or VBAT. There is no external RTC battery on the VPX6000 to power the RTC after the system is powered off.
