Datasheet Volume One
The client address may not be changed after PWRGOOD assertion, until the next power
cycle on the processor. Removal of a processor from its socket or tri-stating a processor
will have no impact to the remaining non-tri-stated PECI client addresses. Since each
socket in the system should have a unique PECI address, the SOCKET_ID strapping is
required to be unique for each socket.
2.5.3.4 C-states
The processor PECI client may be fully functional in most core and package C-states.
• The Ping(), GetDIB(), GetTemp(), RdPkgConfig() and WrPkgConfig() commands
have no measurable impact on CPU power in any of the core or package C-states.
• The RdIAMSR() command will complete normally unless the targeted core is in a C-
state that is C3 or deeper. The PECI client will respond with a completion code of
0x82 (see Table 2-22 for definition) for RdIAMSR() accesses in core C-states that
are C3 or deeper.
• The RdPCIConfigLocal(), WrPCIConfigLocal(), and RdPCIConfig() commands will
not impact the core C-states but may have a measurable impact on the package C-
state. The PECI client will successfully return data without impacting package C-
state if the resources needed to service the command are not in a low power state.
— If the resources required to service the command are in a low power state, the
PECI client will respond with a completion code of 0x82 (see Table 2-22 for
definition). If this is the case, setting the “Wake on PECI” mode bit as described
in Section 2.5.2.6 can cause a package ‘pop-up’ to the C2 state and enable
successful completion of the command. The exact power impact of a pop-up to
C2 will vary by product SKU, the C-state from which the pop-up is initiated and
the negotiated PECI bit rate.
