CP6003-RA/RC
2. Functional Description
2.1

Processor

The CP6003-RA/RC supports the 2
sor with 2.1 GHz and the 2
cessor with 2.2 GHz.
nd
The 2 generation Intel® Core™ i7 processors used on the CP6003-RA/RC include an inte-
grated high-performance graphics controller and a DDR3 dual-channel memory controller with
ECC support as well as one x8 and two x4 PCI Express 2.0 ports operating at 5 GT/s. They
support various technologies, such as:
• Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology
• Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0
• Intel® Intelligent Power Sharing (Intel® IPS)
• Intel® Enhanced SpeedStep® Technology
• Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT-x)
• Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d)
• Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT)
• Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel® AVX)
• Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.1 (Intel® SSE4.1)
• Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.2 (Intel® SSE4.2)
• Intel® 64 Architecture
• Execute Disable Bit
The Intel® Turbo Boost Technology and the Intel® Intelligent Power Sharing technology allow
the processor and the graphics controller to opportunistically and automatically run faster than
their rated operating clock frequency if they are operating below power, temperature, and cur-
rent limits.
The Intel® Enhanced SpeedStep® technology enables real-time dynamic switching of the volt-
age and frequency between several modes. This is achieved by switching the bus ratios, the
core operating voltage, and the core processor speeds without resetting the system.
The Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) is a 256-bit instruction set extension to SSE de-
signed for applications that are Floating Point (FP) intensive. Intel® AVX accelerates compute
performance for signal and image processing applications.
nd
The 2 generation Intel® Core™ i7 processors used on the CP6003-RA/RC have the following
multi-level cache structure:
• 64 kB L1 cache for each core
• 32 kB instruction cache
• 32 kB data cache
• 256 kB L2 instruction/data cache for each core
• Up to 6 MB L3 shared instruction/data cache shared between both cores
