6 • Functional Description
This Chapter describes the functions of the XVR16 built on Intel’s architecture of
the Shark Bay Operating Platform consisting of the 4th Generation Core i7
Processor and the Mobile Intel QM87 Express Chipset.
The 4th Generation Core i7 processor family provides an integrated memory hub
and 2D/3D graphics controller. Enhanced Intel Turbo Boost
®
technology provides
the ability to adjust the power and performance of the processor based on CPU
and graphic demand.
The processor die is thermally protected by two thermal monitor features. When
reaching a maximum safe operating temperature, the Thermal Control Circuit in
the processor activates a frequency reducing feature and reduces the voltage and
frequency dynamically. In case of a catastrophic die overheating (above 125 °C),
the XVR16 switches off the processor core voltage. Recovery from this
catastrophic event can be accomplished with a power off-on cycle or Power
Button.
