Introduction 1 Note: Note: 1.1 Introduction The Intel® Pentium® dual-core processor E5000 series is based on the Enhanced Intel® Core™ microarchitecture. The Intel Enhanced Core™ microarchitecture combines the performance of previous generation Desktop products with the power efficiencies of a low-power microarchitecture to enable smaller, quieter systems. The Intel® Pentium® dual-core processor E5000 series are 64-bit processors that maintain compatibility with IA-32 software. In this document, the Intel® Pentium® dual-core processor E5000 series may be referred to as "the processor." In this document, unless otherwise specified, the Intel® Pentium® dual-core processor E5000 series refers to the Intel® Pentium® dual-core processor E5200 and E5300. The processors use Flip-Chip Land Grid Array (FC-LGA8) package technology, and plugs into a 775-land surface mount, Land Grid Array (LGA) socket, referred to as the LGA775 socket. The processor is based on 45 nm process technology. The processors feature the Intel® Advanced Smart Cache, a shared multi-core optimized cache that significantly reduces latency to frequently used data. The processor features an 800 MHz front side bus (FSB) and 2 MB of L2 cache. The processor supports all the existing Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2), Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3), and Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extension 3 (SSSE3). The processor supports several Advanced Technologies: Execute Disable Bit, Intel® 64 architecture, and Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology. The processor's front side bus (FSB) use a split-transaction, deferred reply protocol. The FSB uses Source-Synchronous Transfer of address and data to improve performance by transferring data four times per bus clock (4X data transfer rate). Along with the 4X data bus, the address bus can deliver addresses two times per bus clock and is referred to as a "double-clocked" or 2X address bus. Working together, the 4X data bus and 2X address bus provide a data bus bandwidth of up to 8.5 GB/s. Intel has enabled support components for the processor including heatsink, heatsink retention mechanism, and socket. Manufacturability is a high priority; hence, mechanical assembly may be completed from the top of the baseboard and should not require any special tooling. Terminology A '#' symbol after a signal name refers to an active low signal, indicating a signal is in the active state when driven to a low level. For example, when RESET# is low, a reset has been requested. Conversely, when NMI is high, a nonmaskable interrupt has occurred. In the case of signals where the name does not imply an active state but describes part of a binary sequence (such as address or data), the '#' symbol implies that the signal is inverted. For example, D[3:0] = 'HLHL' refers to a hex 'A', and D[3:0]# = 'LHLH' also refers to a hex 'A' (H= High logic level, L= Low logic level). "Front Side Bus" refers to the interface between the processor and system core logic (a.k.a. the chipset components). The FSB is a multiprocessing interface to processors, memory, and I/O.

Terminology
A ‘#’ symbol after a signal name refers to an active low signal, indicating a signal is in
the active state when driven to a low level. For example, when RESET# is low, a reset
has been requested. Conversely, when NMI is high, a nonmaskable interrupt has
occurred. In the case of signals where the name does not imply an active state but
describes part of a binary sequence (such as
address
or
data
), the ‘#’ symbol implies
that the signal is inverted. For example, D[3:0] = ‘HLHL’ refers to a hex ‘A’, and
D[3:0]# = ‘LHLH’ also refers to a hex ‘A’ (H= High logic level, L= Low logic level).
“Front Side Bus” refers to the interface between the processor and system core logic
(a.k.a. the chipset components). The FSB is a multiprocessing interface to processors,
memory, and I/O.
