7.29 AMD “Sao Paulo” Device
The AMD "Sao Paulo" device is a 8 core processor node, suitable for a G34 socket. It
emulates a planned product that derives from a revision of the AMD Family10h product
line. The device iteself is composed of 8 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
"Sao Paulo" 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. "Sao Paulo" also exposes two DRAM channel
interfaces "DCT0" and "DCT1" to interface with system memory.
