INTRODUCTION
Intel will offer future OverDrive processors for the Pentium Pro processor. This OverDrive pro-
cessor will be based on a faster, future Intel processor core.
The future OverDrive processor for Pentium Pro processor-based systems is a processor upgrade
that will make all software run faster on an existing Pentium Pro processor system. The Over-
Drive processor is binary compatible with the Pentium Pro processor. The OverDrive processor
is intended for use as a replacement upgrade for single and dual processor Pentium Pro processor
designs. The OverDrive processor will be equipped with an integral fan/heatsink and retention
clips. Intel plans to ship OverDrive processors with a matched Voltage Regulator Module (Over-
Drive VRM).
To support processor upgrades, a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket (Socket 8) and a Voltage
Regulator Module connector (Header 8) have been defined along with the Pentium Pro proces-
sor. Header 8 can be populated with an OEM Pentium Pro processor VRM or with the OverDrive
VRM which Intel plans to ship with the OverDrive processor as part of the retail package.
The OverDrive processor will also support Voltage Identification as described in Section 11.6.,
“Voltage Identification”. The four Voltage ID outputs (VID0-VID3) can be used to design a pro-
grammable power supply that will meet the power requirements of both the Pentium Pro and
OverDrive processors via the Header 8 described in this chapter, or on the motherboard. If you
plan to use VID to design a programmable supply for the OverDrive processor, please contact
Intel for additional information.
A single socket system should include Socket 8 and Header 8. When this system configuration
is upgraded, the Pentium Pro processor and its VRM are replaced with a future OverDrive pro-
cessor for Pentium Pro processor-based systems and its matching OverDrive VRM. The
OverDrive VRM is capable of delivering the lower voltage and higher current required by the
upgrade. Other voltage regulation configurations are described in Section 17.3.2., “Upgrade
Present Signal (UP#)”.

Terminology
Header 8: 40-pin Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) connector defined to contain the OEM
VRM and OverDrive VRM.
OverDrive processor: A future OverDrive processor for Pentium Pro processor-based systems.
OverDrive VRM: A VRM designed to provide the specific voltage required by the future
OverDrive processor for Pentium Pro processor-based systems.
