Notes:
1. Individual processors operate only at or below the rated frequency.
2. Listed frequencies are not necessarily committed production frequencies.

FSB Frequency Select Signals (BSEL[2:0])
The BSEL[2:0] signals are used to select the frequency of the processor input clock
(BCLK[1:0]). Table 2-17 defines the possible combinations of the signals and the
frequency associated with each combination. The required frequency is determined by
the processor, chipset, and clock synthesizer. All agents must operate at the same
frequency.
The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 3000 series operates at a 1066 MHz FSB
frequency (selected by a 266 MHz BCLK[1:0] frequency).

Phase Lock Loop (PLL) and Filter
An on-die PLL filter solution will be implemented on the processor. The VCCPLL input is
used for the PLL. Refer to Table 2-4 for DC specifications.
