    5-1. This temperature specification is meant to help ensure proper operation of the processor. Figure 5-5 illustrates where Intel recommends T thermal measurements should be made. For detailed guidelines on temperature measurement methodology, refer to the appropriate Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines (See Section 1.2).
  • Page 82 Thermal Specifications and Design Considerations periods of TCC activation is expected to be so minor that it would be immeasurable. An under-designed thermal solution that is not able to prevent excessive activation of the TCC in the anticipated ambient environment may cause a noticeable performance loss, and in some cases may result in a T that exceeds the specified maximum temperature and may affect the long-term reliability of the processor.

    Thermal Specifications and Design Considerations Figure 5-6. Thermal Monitor 2 Frequency and Voltage Ordering Temperature Frequency PROCHOT# The PROCHOT# signal is asserted when a high temperature situation is detected, regardless of whether Thermal Monitor or Thermal Monitor 2 is enabled. It should be noted that the Thermal Monitor 2 TCC cannot be activated via the on demand mode.

    Thermal Specifications and Design Considerations 5.2.4 PROCHOT# Signal An external signal, PROCHOT# (processor hot), is asserted when the processor core temperature has reached its maximum operating temperature. If the Thermal Monitor is enabled (note that the Thermal Monitor must be enabled for the processor to be operating within specification), the TCC will be active when PROCHOT# is asserted.

    Features Features Power-On Configuration Options Several configuration options can be configured by hardware. The processor samples the hardware configuration at reset, on the active-to-inactive transition of RESET#. For specifications on these options, refer to Table 6-1. The sampled information configures the processor for subsequent operation. These configuration options cannot be changed except by another reset.

    LINT[1:0] (NMI, INTR). RESET# will cause the processor to immediately initialize itself. The return from a System Management Interrupt (SMI) handler can be to either Normal Mode or the HALT Power Down state. See the Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual, Volume 3B: System Programming Guide, Part 2 for more information.
  • Page 89: Extended Halt Powerdown State

    Features The system can generate a STPCLK# while the processor is in the HALT Power Down state. When the system deasserts the STPCLK# interrupt, the processor will return execution to the HALT state. While in HALT Power Down state, the processor will process bus snoops. 6.2.2.2 Extended HALT Powerdown State Extended HALT is a low power state entered when all processor cores have executed...

    Features 6.2.3.2 Extended Stop Grant State Extended Stop Grant is a low power state entered when the STPCLK# signal is asserted and Extended Stop Grant has been enabled using BIOS. The processor will automatically transition to a lower frequency and voltage operating point before entering the Extended Stop Grant state.

    Features state. Snoop events that occur while in Sleep state or during a transition into or out of Sleep state will cause unpredictable behavior. Any transition on an input signal before the processor has returned to the Stop-Grant state will result in unpredictable behavior. If RESET# is driven active while the processor is in the Sleep state, and held active as specified in the RESET# pin specification, then the processor will reset itself, ignoring the transition through the Stop-Grant state.

    Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology The processor supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology. This technology enables the processor to switch between frequency and voltage points, which may result in platform power savings. In order to support this technology, the system must support dynamic VID transitions.

    Introduction The Intel Core™2 Extreme processor QX9650, Intel Core™2 quad-core processor Q9000, Q9000S, Q8000, and Q8000S series will also be offered as an Intel boxed processor. Intel boxed processors are intended for system integrators who build systems from baseboards and standard components. The boxed processor will be supplied with a cooling solution.

    Boxed Processor Specifications The power header on the baseboard must be positioned to allow the fan heatsink power cable to reach it. The power header identification and location should be documented in the platform documentation, or on the system board itself. Figure 7-6 shows the location of the fan power connector relative to the processor socket.

    Boxed Processor Specifications Thermal Specifications This section describes the cooling requirements of the fan heatsink solution used by the boxed processor. 7.4.1 Boxed Processor Cooling Requirements The boxed processor may be directly cooled with a fan heatsink. However, meeting the processor's temperature specification is also a function of the thermal design of the entire system, and ultimately the responsibility of the system integrator.
