Processor Specification Update
February 2016
Preface
This document is an update to the specifications contained in the Affected Documents
table below. This document is a compilation of device and documentation errata,
specification clarifications and changes. It is intended for hardware system
manufacturers and software developers of applications, operating systems, or tools.
Information types defined in Nomenclature are consolidated into the specification
update and are no longer published in other documents.
This document may also contain information that was not previously published.
Errata are design defects or errors. These may cause the Intel® Xeon® Processor E5
v3 Product Family’s behavior to deviate from published specifications. Hardware and
software designed to be used with any given stepping must assume that all errata
documented for that stepping are present on all devices.
Specification changes are modifications to the current published specifications.
These changes will be incorporated in any new release of the specification.
Specification clarifications describe a specification in greater detail or further
highlight a specification’s impact to a complex design situation. These clarifications will
be incorporated in any new release of the specification.
Documentation changes include typos, errors, or omissions from the current
published specifications. These will be incorporated in any new release of the
specification.
S-Spec number is a five-digit code used to identify products. Products are
differentiated by their unique characteristics, such as core speed, L2 cache size,
package type, etc., as described in the processor identification information table. Read
all notes associated with each S-Spec number.

Note:Errata remain in the specification update throughout the product’s lifecycle, or until a
particular stepping is no longer commercially available. Under these circumstances,
errata removed from the specification update are archived and available upon request.
Specification changes, specification clarifications and documentation changes are
removed from the specification update when the appropriate changes are made to the
appropriate product specification or user documentation (datasheets, manuals, and
so forth).

Component Identification via Programming Interface
The Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 v3 Product Family stepping can be identified by the
following register contents:
Reserved
31:2827:2019:1615:1413:1211:87:43:0
Notes:
1. The Extended Family, Bits [27:20] are used in conjunction with the Family Code, specified in Bits [11:8], to
indicate whether the processor belongs to the Intel® 386, Intel® 486, Pentium®, Pentium 4, or Intel®
Core™ Processor Family.
2. The Extended Model, Bits [19:16] in conjunction with the Model Number, specified in Bits [7:4], are used to
identify the model of the processor within the processor’s family.
3. The Family Code corresponds to Bits [11:8] of the EDX register after RESET, Bits [11:8] of the EAX register
after the CPUID instruction is executed with a 1 in the EAX register, and the generation field of the Device ID
register accessible through Boundary Scan.
4. The Model Number corresponds to Bits [7:4] of the EDX register after RESET, Bits [7:4] of the EAX register
after the CPUID instruction is executed with a 1 in the EAX register, and the model field of the Device ID
register accessible through Boundary Scan.
5. The Stepping ID in Bits [3:0] indicates the revision number of that model. See Table 1 for the processor
stepping ID number in the CPUID information.
6. Refer to the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual documentation for additional
information.
