processor family are the next
generation of 64-bit, multi-core processors built on 22-nanometer process technology.
The processors are designed for a two-chip platform. The two-chip platform consists of
a processor and a Platform Controller Hub (PCH) and enables higher performance,
lower cost, easier validation, and improved x-y footprint. The processor includes an
Integrated Display Engine, Processor Graphics, PCI Express ports, and an Integrated
Memory Controller. The processor is designed for desktop platforms. The processor
offers either 6 or 16 graphic execution units (EUs). The number of EU engines
supported may vary between processor SKUs. The processor is offered in an 1155-land
LGA package (H2). Figure 1-1 shows an example desktop platform block diagram.
The Datasheet provides DC specifications, pinout and signal definitions, interface
functional descriptions, and additional feature information pertinent to the
implementation and operation of the processor on its respective platform.
