7.28 AMD “Istanbul” Device
The AMD "Istnabul" device is a 6 core processor node, suitable for an L1 socket. It
emulates a planned product that derives from a revision of the AMD Family10h product
line. The device iteself is composed of 6 individual AweSim Processor Devices that are
connected to a single “AMD 8th Generation Integrated Northbridge Device”.
For more information on Group Devices, see Section 3.3, “Device Groups", on page 3.3.
Interface
AMD “Istanbul” Device has several connection ports. It has 4 HyperTransport links split
to form 8 sub-links. Each sub-link can connect to a coherent HyperTransport device (such
as another AMD “Istanbul” Device) or a non-Coherent HyperTransport device (such as
AMD-8131™ PCI-X® Controller). These ports are mutually exclusive, and should be
connected to only one other device. AMD “Istanbul” Device also exposes two DRAM
channel interfaces "DCT0" and "DCT1" to interface with system memory.
