Introduction
The Intel
®
Core™ i7-900 desktop processor Extreme Edition series and Intel
®
Core™
i7-900 desktop processor series on 32-nm process processor is intended for high
performance, high-end desktop systems. Several architectural and microarchitectural
enhancements have been added to this processor including six processor cores in the
processor package and increased shared cache.
The Intel
®
Core™ i7-900 desktop processor Extreme Edition series and and Intel
®
Core™ i7-970 desktop processor series on 32-nm process is a desktop multi-core
processor with these key technologies:
• Integrated memory controller
• Point-to-point link interface based on Intel QuickPath Interconnect (Intel QPI)
shows the interfaces used with these new technologies.
Note:
In this document the Intel
®
Core™ i7-900 desktop processor Extreme Edition series on
32-nm process will be referred to as “the processor.”
Note:
The Intel
®
Core™ i7-900 desktop processor Extreme Edition series on 32-nm process
refers to the Intel
®
Core™ i7-980X and i7-990X desktop processor Extreme Edition.
Note:
The Intel
®
Core™ i7-900 desktop processor series on 32-nm process refers to the
Intel
®
Core™ i7-980 and i7-970 desktop processors.
The processor is optimized for performance with the power efficiency of a low-power
microarchitecture.
This document provides DC electrical specifications, differential signaling specifications,
pinout and signal definitions, package mechanical specifications and thermal
requirements, and additional features pertinent to the implementation and operation of
the processor.
The processor is a multi-core processor built on the 32-nm process technology, that
uses up to 130 W thermal design power (TDP). The processor features an Intel QPI
point-to-point link capable of up to 6.4 GT/s, 12 MB Level 3 cache, and an integrated
memory controller.
