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.
Mode
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.

Figure 2. Intel® Flex Memory Technology Operations
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.
2.1.4

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

The following sections describe the Just-in-Time Scheduling, Command Overlap, and Out-of-Order Scheduling Intel FMA technology enhancements.
®
Processor Family
Processor—Interfaces
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.
2.1.6
2.1.7
2.1.8

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.

2.5 GT/s, 5.0 GT/s and 8 GT/s PCI Express* bit rates are supported.
Gen1 Raw bit-rate on the data pins of 2.5 GT/s, resulting in a real bandwidth per pair of 250 MB/s given the 8b/10b encoding used to transmit data across this interface. This also does not account for packet overhead and link maintenance. Maximum theoretical bandwidth on the interface of 4 GB/s in each direction simultaneously, for an aggregate of 8 GB/s when x16 Gen 1.
Gen 2 Raw bit-rate on the data pins of 5.0 GT/s, resulting in a real bandwidth per pair of 500 MB/s given the 8b/10b encoding used to transmit data across this interface. This also does not account for packet overhead and link maintenance. Maximum theoretical bandwidth on the interface of 8 GB/s in each direction simultaneously, for an aggregate of 16 GB/s when x16 Gen 2.
Gen 3 raw bit-rate on the data pins of 8.0 GT/s, resulting in a real bandwidth per pair of 984 MB/s using 128b/130b encoding to transmit data across this interface. This also does not account for packet overhead and link maintenance.

2.2.2

PCI Express* Architecture

Compatibility with the PCI addressing model is maintained to ensure that all existing applications and drivers operate unchanged.
The PCI Express* configuration uses standard mechanisms as defined in the PCI Plug­and-Play specification. The processor PCI Express* ports support Gen 3. At 8 GT/s, Gen 3 operation results in twice as much bandwidth per lane as compared to Gen 2 operation. The 16 lanes PEG can operate at 2.5 GT/s, 5 GT/s, or 8 GT/s.
Gen 3 PCI Express* uses a 128b/130b encoding that is about 23% more efficient than the 8b/10b encoding used in Gen 1 and Gen 2.
The PCI Express* architecture is specified in three layers – Transaction Layer, Data Link Layer, and Physical Layer. See the PCI Express Base Specification 3.0 for details of PCI Express* architecture.

PCI Express* extends the configuration space to 4096 bytes per-device/function, as compared to 256 bytes allowed by the conventional PCI specification. PCI Express* configuration space is divided into a PCI-compatible region (that consists of the first 256 bytes of a logical device's configuration space) and an extended PCI Express* region (that consists of the remaining configuration space). The PCI-compatible region can be accessed using either the mechanisms defined in the PCI specification or using the enhanced PCI Express* configuration access mechanism described in the PCI Express* Enhanced Configuration Mechanism section.
The PCI Express* Host Bridge is required to translate the memory-mapped PCI Express* configuration space accesses from the host processor to PCI Express* configuration cycles. To maintain compatibility with PCI configuration addressing mechanisms, it is recommended that system software access the enhanced configuration space using 32-bit operations (32-bit aligned) only. See the PCI Express Base Specification for details of both the PCI-compatible and PCI Express* Enhanced configuration mechanisms and transaction rules.

The external graphics attach (PEG) on the processor is a single, 16-lane (x16) port. The PEG port is designed to be compliant with the PCI Express Base Specification, Revision 3.0.

DMI Error Flow
DMI can only generate SERR in response to errors, never SCI, SMI, MSI, PCI INT, or GPE. Any DMI related SERR activity is associated with Device 0.
DMI Link Down
The DMI link going down is a fatal, unrecoverable error. If the DMI data link goes to data link down, after the link was up, then the DMI link hangs the system by not allowing the link to retrain to prevent data corruption. This link behavior is controlled by the PCH.
Downstream transactions that had been successfully transmitted across the link prior to the link going down may be processed as normal. No completions from downstream, non-posted transactions are returned upstream over the DMI link after a link down event.

Processor—Interfaces
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.
Processor Graphics VGA Registers
The 2D registers consists of original VGA registers and others to support graphics modes that have color depths, resolutions, and hardware acceleration features that go beyond the original VGA standard.

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.

DisplayPort*
DisplayPort* is a digital communication interface that uses differential signaling to achieve a high-bandwidth bus interface designed to support connections between PCs and monitors, projectors, and TV displays. DisplayPort* is also suitable for display connections between consumer electronics devices, such as high-definition optical disc players, set top boxes, and TV displays.
A DisplayPort* consists of a Main Link, Auxiliary channel, and a Hot-Plug Detect signal. The Main Link is a unidirectional, high-bandwidth, and low latency channel used for transport of isochronous data streams such as uncompressed video and audio. The Auxiliary Channel (AUX CH) is a half-duplex bidirectional channel used for link management and device control. The Hot-Plug Detect (HPD) signal serves as an interrupt request for the sink device.
The processor is designed in accordance with the VESA DisplayPort* Standard Version
1.2a. The processor supports VESA DisplayPort* PHY Compliance Test Specification
1.2a and VESA DisplayPort* Link Layer Compliance Test Specification 1.2a.

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.
Processor—Interfaces
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.

Digital Video Interface
The processor Digital Ports can be configured to drive DVI-D. DVI uses TMDS for transmitting data from the transmitter to the receiver, which is similar to the HDMI protocol except for the audio and CEC. Refer to the HDMI section for more information on the signals and data transmission. To drive DVI-I through the back panel the VGA DDC signals are connected along with the digital data and clock signals from one of the Digital Ports. When a system has support for a DVI-I port, then either VGA or the DVI-D through a single DVI-I connector can be driven, but not both simultaneously.
The digital display data signals driven natively through the processor are AC coupled and need level shifting to convert the AC coupled signals to the HDMI compliant digital signals.
embedded DisplayPort*
embedded DisplayPort* (eDP*) is an embedded version of the DisplayPort standard oriented towards applications such as notebook and All-In-One PCs. The processor supports dedicated eDP. Like DisplayPort, embedded DisplayPort also consists of a Main Link, Auxiliary channel, and an optional Hot-Plug Detect signal.
The eDP on the processor can be configured for 2 lanes using a dedicated eDPx2 port on the processor or 4 lanes by configuring the Intel FDI port as eDPx2 in addition to dedicated eDPx2 port on processor.
Processor supports embedded DisplayPort* (eDP*) Standard Version 1.3 and VESA embedded DisplayPort* Standard Version 1.3.

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.

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/
Processor—Technologies
3.1

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
The Intel VT-d specification and other Intel VT documents can be referenced at:
http://www.intel.com/technology/virtualization/index.htm
https://sharedspaces.intel.com/sites/PCDC/SitePages/Ingredients/ingredient.aspx? ing=VT
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.

Technologies—Processor
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
Extended Page Table Pointer (EPTP) switching
— EPTP switching is a specific VM function. EPTP switching allows guest software
Pause loop exiting
— Support VMM schedulers seeking to determine when a virtual processor of a
page classification algorithms to optimize VM memory operations, such as de­fragmentation, 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.
(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 non­root 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.
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 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.

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.

Technologies—Processor
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.
3.3
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.

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® 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.
The processor supports a Turbo mode in which the processor can use the thermal capacity associated with the package and run at power levels higher than TDP power for short durations. This improves the system responsiveness for short, bursty usage conditions. The turbo feature needs to be properly enabled by BIOS for the processor to operate with maximum performance. Since the turbo feature is configurable and dependent on many platform design limits outside of the processor control, the maximum performance cannot be ensured.
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.
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
The processor rated frequency assumes that all execution cores are active and are at the sustained thermal design power (TDP). However, under typical operation not all cores are active or at executing a high power workload. Therefore, most applications are consuming less than the TDP at the rated frequency. Intel Turbo Boost Technology
2.0 takes advantage of the available TDP headroom and active cores are able to increase their operating frequency.
To determine the highest performance frequency amongst active cores, the processor takes the following into consideration to recalculate turbo frequency during runtime:
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.

®
Technologies—Processor
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 51.

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.

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® 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
— Interrupt and processor priorities
— Interrupt sources
— Interrupt destination types
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Processor—Power Management
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.
4.2.2

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.

Note: 1. If enabled, the core C-state will be C1E if all cores have resolved a core C1 state or higher.
4.2.3

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)

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.
4.2.4

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 57.
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.

Power Management—Processor
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 State
Individual threads of a core can enter the C7 state by initiating a P_LVL4 I/O read to the P_BLK or by an MWAIT(C7) instruction. The core C7 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
4.2.5
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, and C7 power states.The following is a summary of the general rules for package C-state entry. These apply to all package C­states, 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.

Processor—Power Management
— 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 C­state.
The following table shows package C-state resolution for a dual-core processor. The following figure summarizes package C-state transitions.

Figure 14. Package C-State Entry and Exit
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 auto­promotion 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.

Power Management—Processor
Note: Package C6 state is the deepest C-state supported on discrete graphics systems with
PCI Express Graphics (PEG).
Package C7 state is the deepest C-state supported on integrated graphics systems (or switchable graphics systems during integrated graphics mode). However, in most configurations, package C6 will be more energy efficient than package C7 state. As a result, package C7 state residency is expected to be very low or zero in most scenarios where the display is enabled. Logic internal to the processor will determine whether package C6 or package C7 state is the most efficient. There is no need to make changes in BIOS or system software to prioritize package C6 state over package C7 state.
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 C­states 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.

Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) Power Management

The main memory is power managed during normal operation and in low-power ACPI Cx states.

Disabling Unused System Memory Outputs

Any system memory (SM) interface signal that goes to a memory module connector in which it is not connected to any actual memory devices (such as SO-DIMM connector is unpopulated, or is single-sided) is tri-stated. The benefits of disabling unused SM signals are:
Reduced power consumption.
Reduced possible overshoot/undershoot signal quality issues seen by the processor I/O buffer receivers caused by reflections from potentially un­terminated transmission lines.
When a given rank is not populated, the corresponding chip select and CKE signals are not driven.
At reset, all rows must be assumed to be populated, until it can be determined that the rows are not populated. This is due to the fact that when CKE is tri-stated with an SO-DIMM present, the SO-DIMM is not ensured to maintain data integrity.
CKE tristate should be enabled by BIOS where appropriate, since at reset all rows must be assumed to be populated.
4.3.2

DRAM Power Management and Initialization

The processor implements extensive support for power management on the SDRAM interface. There are four SDRAM operations associated with the Clock Enable (CKE) signals, which the SDRAM controller supports. The processor drives four CKE pins to perform these operations.
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.

Processor—Power Management
The processor supports three 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.
The CKE is determined per rank, whenever it is inactive. Each rank has an idle­counter. 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.

4.3.2.1
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.
4.3.2.2
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.

If there are no memory requests, then enter self-refresh. Otherwise, use dynamic memory rank power-down based on idle conditions.
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 power­down (CKE de-assertion with open pages) or pre-charge power-down (CKE de­assertion 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).

DRAM Running Average Power Limitation (RAPL)

RAPL is a power and time constant pair. DRAM RAPL defines an average power constraint for the DRAM domain. Constraint is controlled by the PCU. Platform entities (PECI or in-band power driver) can specify a power limit for the DRAM domain. PCU continuously monitors the extant of DRAM throttling due to the power limit and rebudgets the limit between DIMMs.

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 V the logic to reduce idle power while keeping all critical DDR pins such as SM_DRAMRST#, CKE and VREF in the appropriate 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.

Thermal Management—Processor

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 (Tj maximum thermal design power (TDP).
Conforms to system constraints, such as system acoustics, system skin­temperatures, 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.

Max

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 on a single die.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.

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.
5.3

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
5.3.1

Package Power Control

The package power control allows for customization to implement optimal turbo within platform power delivery and package thermal solution limitations.
Table 22. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 Package Power Control Settings
MSR: Address:
Control Bit Default Description
POWER_LIMIT_1 (PL1) 14:0 SKU TDP
POWER_LIMIT_1_TIME (Turbo Time Parameter)
POWER_LIMIT_2 (PL2) 46:32 1.25 x TDP
MSR_TURBO_POWER_LIMIT 610h
23:17 1 sec
• 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 set­power 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.
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.
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

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.
Processor Family
®
cTDP consists of three modes as shown in the following table.
Table 23. 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 driver assists in all these operations. The cTDP mode does not change the max per-core turbo frequency.
Processor—Thermal Management
5.4.2

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
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.

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 Tj
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.

Thermal Management—Processor
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.
5.6.1.1
5.6.1.2
Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) Activation Offset
TCC Activation Offset can be used to activate the Adaptive Thermal Monitor at temperatures lower than Tj
. It is the preferred thermal protection mechanism for
MAX
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 [27:24]. This value will be subtracted from the value found in bits [23:16]. The default offset is 0 °C, TCC activation will occur at Tj
. The offset should be set lower than any other
MAX
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.

Processor—Thermal Management
5.6.1.3
5.6.2
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 38.
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 (Tj
), regardless of
MAX
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 Tj does not report temperatures greater than Tj

Thermal Management—Processor
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.

PROCHOT# Signal

PROCHOT# (processor hot) is asserted when the processor temperature has reached its maximum operating temperature (Tj 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.
). Only a single PROCHOT# pin exists at a
MAX
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.

Processor—Thermal Management
5.6.3.2
5.6.3.3
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).
5.6.3.4
5.6.3.5
5.6.3.6
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
5.6.5
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-on­Board), 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.

Processor—Thermal Management
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.

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 (V 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.
) , compared to six voltage rails on
DDQ

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 44 on page 94 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 un­connected
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 83 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 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.

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.
7.7

DC Specifications

The processor DC specifications in this section are defined at the processor pins, unless noted otherwise. See Signal Description on page 83 for the processor pin listings and signal definitions.
