more detailed information. Refer to
on up to date nomenclatures.
• Eye Definitions — The eye at any point along the data channel is defined to be the
creation of overlapping of a large number of Unit Interval of the data signal and
timing width measured with respect to the edges of a separate clock signal at any
other point. Each differential signal pair by combining the D+ and D- signals
produces a signal eye.
• 1366-land LGA package — The processor is available in a Flip-Chip Land Grid
Array (FC-LGA) package, consisting of the processor die mounted on a land grid
array substrate with an integrated heat spreader (IHS).
• Functional Operation — Refers to the normal operating conditions in which all
processor specifications, including DC, AC, system bus, signal quality, mechanical,
and thermal, are satisfied.
• Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) — A memory controller that is integrated
in the processor silicon.
• Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) — A component of the processor package used
to enhance the thermal performance of the package. Component thermal solutions
interface with the processor at the IHS surface.
• Intel
the processor to execute operating systems and applications written to take
advantage of Intel 64. Further details on Intel 64 architecture and programming
model can be found at http://developer.intel.com/technology/intel64/.
• Intel
specification for Intel processor, chipset, and I/O bridge components. Sometimes
abbreviated as Intel QPI.
• Intel
• Intel
enhancements to Intel server and client platforms that can improve virtualization
solutions. Intel VT provides a foundation for widely-deployed virtualization
solutions and enables more robust hardware assisted virtualization solutions. More
information can be found at:
• Jitter — Any timing variation of a transition edge or edges from the defined Unit
Interval.
• LGA1366 Socket — The processor (in the LGA-1366 package) mates with the
system board through this surface mount, 1366-contact socket.
• Mirror Port - Pads located on the top side of the processor package used to
provide logic analyzer probing access for Intel QPI signal analysis.
• Non-core — The portion of the processor comprising the shared cache, IMC and
Intel QPI Link interface.
• OEM — Original Equipment Manufacturer.
• Storage Conditions — Refers to a non-operational state. The processor may be
installed in a platform, in a tray, or loose. Processors may be sealed in packaging or
exposed to free air. Under these conditions, processor lands should not be
connected to any supply voltages, have any I/Os biased, or receive any clocks.
• Intel
— The desktop product, including processor substrate and integrated heat spreader
(IHS).
