Introduction

Datasheet
The processor uses some of the infrastructure already enabled by 775_VR_CONFIG_05
platforms 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.
1.1
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.

Processor Terminology Definitions
Commonly used terms are explained here for clarification:
•
Intel
®
Core™2 Extreme processor QX9000 series
— Quad core Extreme
Edition processor in the FC-LGA6 package with two 6 MB L2 cache.
•
Intel
®
Core™2 Quad processor Q9000 series
— Quad core processor in the FC-
LGA8 package with two 6 MB L2 caches or two 3 MB L2 caches.
•
Intel
®
Core™2 Quad processor Q8000 Series
— Quad core processor in the
FC-LGA8 package with two 4 MB L2 caches or two 2 MB L2 caches..
•
Intel

processor in the FC-LGA8 package with two 4 MB L2 caches or two 2 MB L2 caches
caches.
•
Processor
— For this document, the term processor is the generic form of the
Intel
®
Core™2 Extreme processor QX9000 series, the Intel
®
Core™2 Quad
processor Q9000, Q9000S, Q8000, and Q8000S series.
•
Enhanced Intel
®
Core
TM
microarchitecture —
A new foundation for Intel
®
architecture-based desktop, mobile and mainstream server multi-core processors.

•
Keep-out zone
— The area on or near the processor that system design can not
utilize.
•
Processor core
— Processor die with integrated L2 cache.
•
LGA775 socket
— The processor mates with the system board through a surface
mount, 775-land, LGA socket.
•
Integrated heat spreader (IHS)
—A component of the processor package used
to enhance the thermal performance of the package. Component thermal solutions
interface with the processor at the IHS surface.
•
Retention mechanism (RM)
— Since the LGA775 socket does not include any
mechanical features for heatsink attach, a retention mechanism is required.
Component thermal solutions should attach to the processor via a retention
mechanism that is independent of the socket.
•
FSB (Front Side Bus)
— The electrical interface that connects the processor to
the chipset. Also referred to as the processor system bus or the system bus. All
