3.3 PMC/XMC
The cPCI-6530BL(V) models support max two PMC or XMC sites
for front panel I/O expansion. The PMC site provides a maximum
64-bit/33,66,133 MHz PCI bus link using a Pericom PI7C9X130
PCI-Express-to-PCI bridge and PCI-Express x4 link. The PMC
sites s3.3V signaling only. The XMC sites provide
PCI-Express x8 lanes which are supported by a PCIe x8 Switch.
3.4 Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is a feature that allows the proces-
sor to opportunistically and automatically run faster than its rated
operating core and/or render clock frequency when there is suffi-
cient power headroom, and the product is within specified temper-
ature and current limits. The Intel Turbo Boost Technology feature
is designed to increase performance of both multi-threaded and
single-threaded workloads. The processor supports a Turbo mode
where the processor can use the thermal capacity associated with
package and
run at power levels higher than TDP power for
short durations . This improves the system responsiveness for
short, bursty usage conditions.
Turbo Mode availability is independent of the number of active
cores; however, the Turbo Mode frequency is dynamic and depen-
dent on the instantaneous application power load, the number of
active cores, user configurable settings, operating environment,
and system design. If the power, current, or thermal limit is
reached, the processor will automatically reduce the frequency to
stay with its TDP limit.
