Processor/Memory Subsystem

3.2 Intel Pentium Processors

These systems each feature an Intel processor in a FC-LGA775 package mounted with a heat

sink in a zero-insertion force socket. The mounting socket allows the processor to be easily

changed for upgrading.

3.2.1 Intel Processor Overview

These models support the latest generation of Intel Pentium processors, including those which

feature Intel's NetBurst

architecture and Hyper-Threading technology. The processors are

designed for handling the intensive multimedia and internet applications of today while

maintaining compatibility with software written for earlier x86) micoprocessors.

Key features of supported Intel Pentium processors include:

■

Dual-core architecture—Featured on all Intel Pentium Processor Extreme Editions and

Pentium D processors, provides full parallel processing .

■

Hyper-Threading Technology—Featured in some Intel Pentium Processor Extreme Editions

and Pentium 4 Processors, the main processing loop has twice the depth (20 stages) of earlier

processors allowing for increased processing frequencies.

■

Execution Trace Cache— A new feature supporting the branch prediction mechanism, the

trace cache stores translated sequences of branching micro-operations ( ops) and is checked

when suspected re-occurring branches are detected in the main processing loop.

This feature

allows instruction decoding to be removed from the main processing loop.

■

Rapid Execution Engine—Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs) run at twice (2x) processing

frequency for higher throughput and reduced latency.

■

1-/2-/4-MB Advanced transfer L2 cache—Using 32-byte-wide interface at processing speed,

the large L2 cache provides a substantial increase.

■

Advanced dynamic execution—Using a larger (4K) branch target buffer and improved

prediction algorithm, branch mis-predictions are reduced by an average of 33 % over the

Pentium III.

■

Enhanced Floating Point Processor —With 128-bit integer processing and deeper pipelining

the Pentium's FPU provides a 2x performance boost over the Pentium III.

■

Additional Streaming SIMD extensions (SSE2 andSSE3)—In addition to the SSE support

provided by previous Pentium processors, the Pentium 4 processor includes an additional

144 MMX instructions, further enhancing:

❏

Streaming video/audio processing

❏

Photo/video editing

❏

Speech recognition

❏

3D processing

❏

Encryption processing

■

Quad-pumped Front Side Bus (FSB)—The FSB uses a 200-MHz clock for qualifying the

buses' control signals.

However, address information is transferred using a 2x strobe while

data is transferred with a 4x strobe, providing a maximum data transfer rate that is four times

that of earlier processors.
