1.2.1 CPU-Intel Desktop Pentium4(Northwood) Processor In FC-PGA478 Package

The Intel Pentium 4 processor with 512-KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron process is a follow on to the Pentium 4

processor in the 478-pin package with Intel Net Burst. microarchitecture. The Pentium 4 processor with 512-KB L2

cache on 0.13 micron process utilizes Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array (FC-PGA2) package technology, and plugs into a

478-pin surface mount, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket, referred to as the mPGA478B socket.

The Pentium 4 processor with 512-KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron process, like its predecessor, the Pentium 4

processor in the 478-pin package, is based on the same Intel 32-bit microarchitecture and maintains the tradition of

Compatibility with IA-32 software. In this document, the Pentium 4 processor with 512-KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron

process will be referred to as the “Pentium 4 processor with 512-KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron process,” or simply

“the processor.”

The Intel NetBurst microarchitecture features include hyper pipelined technology, a rapid execution engine, a 400-

MHz or a 533-MHz system bus, and an execution trace cache. The hyper pipelined technology doubles the pipeline

depth in the Pentium 4 processor with 512-KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron process, allowing the processor to reach

much higher core frequencies. The rapid execution engine allows the two integer ALUs in the processor to run at

twice the core frequency, which allows many integer instructions to execute in 1/2 clock tick. The 400-MHz or 533-

MHz system bus is a quad-pumped bus running off a 100-MHz or a 133-MHz system clock making 3.2 Gbytes/sec

and 4.3 Gbytes/sec data transfer rates possible. The execution trace cache is a first-level cache that stores

approximately 12-k decoded micro-operations, which removes the instruction decoding logic from the main

execution path, thereby increasing performance. Additional features within the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture

include advanced dynamic execution, advanced transfer cache, enhanced floating point and multi-media unit, and

Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2). The advanced dynamic execution improves speculative execution and branch

prediction internal to the processor. The advanced transfer cache is a 512 KB, on-die level 2 (L2) cache.

A new floating point and multi media unit has been implemented which provides superior performance for multi-

media and mathematically intensive applications. Finally, SSE2 adds 144 new instructions for double-precision

floating point, SIMD integer, and memory management. Power management capabilities such as AutoHALT, Stop-

Grant, Sleep, and Deep Sleep have been retained. The Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) enable break-through

levels of performance in multimedia applications including 3-D graphics, video decoding/encoding, and speech

recognition. The new packed double-precision floating-point instructions enhance performance for applications that

require greater range and precision, including scientific and engineering applications and advanced 3-D geometry

techniques, such as ray tracing.

The Pentium 4 processor with 512-KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron process Intel Net Burst microarchitecture system

bus utilizes a split-transaction, deferred reply protocol like the Pentium 4 processor. This system bus is not

compatible with the P6 processor family bus. The Intel Net Burst microarchitecture system bus uses Source-

Synchronous Transfer (SST) of address and data to improve performance by transferring data four times per bus

clock (4X data transfer rate, as in AGP 4X). Along with the 4X data bus, the address bus can deliver addresses two

times per bus clock and is referred to as a “double-clocked” or 2X address bus. Working together, the 4X data bus

and 2X address bus provide a data bus bandwidth of up to 4.3 G byte s/second.

Intel will enable support components for the Pentium 4 processor with 512-KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron process

including heat sinks, heat sink retention mechanisms, and sockets. Manufacturability is a high priority; hence,

mechanical assembly can be completed from the top of the motherboard and should not require any special tooling.

The processor system bus uses a variant of GTL+signalling technology called Assisted Gunning Transceiver Logic

(AGTL+) signal technology.

1.2.2 CPU – Intel Celeron Processor In Micro-PGA 478 Package

The Intel® Celeron® processor in the 478-pin package utilizes Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array (FC-PGA2) package

technology, and plugs into a 478-pin surface mount, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket, referred to as the

mPGA478B socket. The Celeron processor in the 478-pin package maintains the tradition of compatibility with IA-

32 software. The Celeron processor in the 478-pin package is designed for uni-processor based Value PC desktop

systems. Features of processor include hyper pipelined technology, a 400 MHz system bus, and an execution trace

cache. The 400 MHz system bus is a quad-pumped bus that is clocked with a 100 MHz system clock, making 3.2

GB/sec data transfer rates possible. The execution trace cache is a first level cache that stores approximately 12k

decoded micro-operations, which removes the decoder from the main execution path. Additional features include

advanced dynamic execution, advanced transfer cache, enhanced floating point and multi-media unit, and Streaming

SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2). The advanced dynamic execution improves speculative execution and branch prediction

internal to the processor. The advanced transfer cache is a 128 KB, on-die level 2 (L2) cache. The floating point and

multimedia units have 128 bit wide registers with a separate register for data movement. Finally, SSE2 support

includes instructions for double-precision floating point, SIMD integer, and memory management. Power

management capabilities such as AutoHALT, Stop-Grant, Sleep, and Deep Sleep have also been retained. The

Celeron processor in the 478-pin package 400 MHz system bus utilizes a split-transaction, deferred reply protocol.

This system bus is not compatible with the P6 processor family bus. The 400 MHz system bus uses Source-

8590 MAINTENANCE

The P4N266 chip set consists of the VT8703 North Bridge (664 pin BGA) and the VT8233 V-Link South Bridge

(376 pin BGA). The VT8703 (which may also be referred to as a “Host System Controller”) integrates VIA’s

VT8653 Apollo Pro266T system controller with CPU bus extensions to support Pentium 4, S3 Graphics’ Savage4

2D/3D graphics accelerator and S3 Graphics’ flat panel monitor and TV out interfaces into a single 664 BGA

package. The VT8703 provides superior performance between the CPU, DRAM, V-Link bus and internal or external

AGP 4x graphics controller bus with pipelined, burst, and concurrent operation. The VT8233 (which also may be

referred to as a “V-Link Client Controller”) is a highly integrated PCI / LPC controller. Its internal bus structure is

based on a 66 MHz PCI bus that provides 2x bandwidth compared to previous generation PCI bridge chips. The

VT8233 also provides a 266MB/sec bandwidth Host/Client V-Link interface with V-Link-PCI and V-Link-LPC

controllers. It supports five PCI slots of arbitration and decoding for all integrated functions and LPC bus.

The VT8703 supports eight banks of SDR / DDR SDRAMs up to 4 GB. The DRAM controller supports PC2100 /

PC1600 Double-Data-Rated (DDR) SDRAM but can also support standard PC133 / PC100 Synchronous DRAM

(SDR SDRAM). The DDR / SDR DRAM interface allows zero wait state bursting between the DRAM and the data

buffers at 100 / 133 MHz. The different banks of DRAM can be composed of an arbitrary mixture of 1M / 2M / 4M /

8M / 16M / 32M / 64M x 8/16/32 DRAMs. The DRAM controller also supports optional ECC (single-bit error

correction and multi-bit detection) or EC (error checking) capability. The DRAM controller can run either

synchronous or pseudo-synchronous with the host CPU bus.

The VT8703 host system controller supports a high speed 8-bit 66 MHz Quad Data Transfer interconnect (V-Link)

to the VT8233 South Bridge. The chip also contains a built-in bus-to-bus bridge to allow simultaneous concurrent

operations on each bus. Five levels (double words) of post write buffers are included to allow for concurrent CPU and

V-Link operation. For V-Link Host operation, forty-eight levels (double words) of post write buffers and sixteen

levels (double words) of prefetch buffers are included for concurrent V-Link bus and DRAM/cache accesses. When

combined the V-Link Host / Client controllers, it realizes a complete PCI sub-system and supports enhanced PCI bus

commands such as Memory-Read-Line, Memory-Read-Multiple and Memory- Write-Invalid commands to minimize
