Overview

Pentium®II or Pentium®III Processor

The Pentium®II or Pentium®III Processor is the follow-on to the Pentium®

Processor. The Pentium®II or Pentium®III Processor, like the Pentium®Pro

processor, implements a Dynamic Execution micro-architecture -- a unique

combination of multiple branch prediction, data flow analysis, and speculative

execution. This enables the Pentium®II Processor to deliver higher performance

than the Pentium®processor, while maintaining binary compatibility with all

previous Intel architecture processors.

A significant feature of the Pentium®II or Pentium®III Processor, from a system

perspective, is the built-in direct multiprocessing support. In order to achieve

multiprocessing, and maintain the memory and I/O bandwidth to support it, new

system designs are needed. For systems with dual processors, it is important to

consider the additional power burdens and signal integrity issues of supporting

multiple loads on a high speed bus. The Pentium®II or Pentium®III Processor

can supports both uni-processor and dual processor implementations.

The Pentium®II or Pentium®III Processor utilizes Single Edge Contact (S.E.C.)

(Figure 1) cartridge packaging technology. The S.E.C. cartridge allows the L2

cache to remain tightly coupled to the processor, while maintaining flexibility when

implementing high performance processors into OEM systems. The second level

cache is performance optimized and tested at the cartridge level. The S.E.C.

cartridge utilizes surface mounted core components and a printed circuit board

with an edge finger connection. The S.E.C. cartridge package introduced on the

Pentium®II Processor will also be used in future Slot 1 processors.

The S.E.C. cartridge has the following features: a thermal plate, a cover and a

PCB with an edge finger connection. The thermal plate allows standardized

heatsink attachment or customized thermal solutions. The thermal plate enables a

reusable heatsink to minimize fit issues for serviceability, upgradeability and

replacement. The full enclosure also protects the surface mount components.

The edge finger connection maintains socketabilty for system configuration. The

edge finger connector is denoted as ‘Slot 1 connector’ in this and other

documentation.

Introduction

EP-6VBA

Page 1-3

The entire enclosed product is called the Pentium®II or Pentium®III Processor.

The packaging technology and each of the physical elements of the product are

referred to using accurate technical descriptions. This allows clear reference to

the products as just a processor. This is the model used in past packaging tech-

nologies like PGA, TCP, PQFP, DIP, etc.

S.E.C. Cartridge Terminology

• Pentium®II or Pentium®III Processor

The new enclosed card packaging technology is called a “Single Edge

Contact cartridge.” This is similar to previous names for packaging

technology such as PGA or TCP.

• Processor card

The green PCB (with or without components on it)

• Processor core

The silicon on the PLGA package on the PCB

• Cover

The plastic cover on the opposite side from the thermal plate.

• Slot 1

The slot that the S.E.C. cartridge plugs into, just as the Pentium® Pro

processor uses Socket 8.

• Retention mechanism

Formerly ‘retention module’ the dual posts, etc. that holds the cartridge in

place.

• Thermal plate

The heatsink attachment plate.

• Heat sink supports

The support pieces that are mounted on the mainboard to provide added

support for heatsinks.

The L2 cache (TagRAM, PBSRAM) components keep standard industry names.

The Pentium®II or Pentium®III Processor is the first product to utilize the S.E.

C. cartridge technology and Slot 1 connector. Unless otherwise noted, any

references to “Pentium®II Processor,”

“Pentium®II or Pentium®III Processor/Slot 1 processor” or “Pentium®III

Processor” will apply to both the Pentium®II Processor desktop processors.

Accelerated Graphics Port

(AGP or A.G.P.)

Typically, 3D graphics rendering requires a tremendous amount of memory, and

demands ever increasing throughput speed as well. As 3D products for the

personal computer become more and more popular, these demands will only

increase. This will cause a rise in costs for both end users and manufacturers.

Lowering these costs as well as improving performance is the primary motivation

behind AGP. By providing a massive increase in the bandwidth available between

the video card and the processor, it will assist in relieving some of these pressures

for quite sometime.

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your systems

operations and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and RPM

of fan.
