Introduction
• Thermal Design Power – Processor thermal solutions should be designed to meet
this target. It is the highest expected sustainable power while running known
power intensive real applications. TDP is not the maximum power that the
processor can dissipate.
• LGA771 socket – The Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5000 series interfaces to
the baseboard through this surface mount, 771 Land socket. See the LGA771
Socket Design Guidelines for details regarding this socket.
• Processor – A single package that contains one or more complete execution cores.
• Processor core – Processor core die with integrated L2 cache. All AC timing and
signal integrity specifications are at the pads of the processor core.
• Intel® Virtualization Technology – Processor virtualization which when used in
conjunction with Virtual Machine Monitor software enables multiple, robust
independent software environments inside a single platform.
• VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) – DC-DC converter built onto a module that
interfaces with a card edge socket and supplies the correct voltage and current to
the processor based on the logic state of the processor VID bits.
• EVRD (Enterprise Voltage Regulator Down) – DC-DC converter integrated onto
the system board that provides the correct voltage and current to the processor
based on the logic state of the processor VID bits.
• VCC – The processor core power supply.
• VSS – The processor ground.
• VTT – FSB termination voltage.
