Introduction This document is Volume 2 of 2 of the datasheet for the Intel® Core™ i7 processor family for LGA2011 Socket. Volume 2 provides register information for these processors. Volume 2 of 2 describes the Configuration Status Registers (CSRs) of each individual functional block in Uncore logic. The processor contains one or more PCI devices within each individual functional block. CSRs are the basic hardware elements that configure the Uncore logic to support various system topologies, memory configuration, and densities. The processor family contains one or more PCI devices within a...

The Execute Disable bit allows memory to be marked as executable or nonexecutable–when combined with a supporting operating system. If code attempts to run in non-executable memory the processor raises an error to...

Processor Terminology (Sheet 2 of 2) Terminology Power Control Unit Platform Environment Control Interface 64-bit, single-core or multi-core component (package) Processor Core The term “processor core” refers to silicon die itself which can contain multiple execution cores. Each execution core has an instruction cache, data cache, and 256KB L2 cache. All execution cores share the L3 cache. A unit of DRAM connecting four to eight devices in parallel. These devices are usually, but not always, mounted on a single side of a DDR3 DIMM. Processor interconnect between the different Uncore modules...

Registers Overview and Configuration Process Registers Overview and Configuration Process This chapter covers • • • • Platform Configuration Structure Configuration Register Rules Register Terminology Notational Conventions Platform Configuration Structure The DMI2 physically connects the processor and the PCH. From a configuration standpoint the DMI2 is a logical extension of PCI Bus 0. DMI2 and the internal devices in the processor IIO and PCH logically constitute PCI Bus 0 to configuration software. As a result, all devices internal to the processor and the PCH appear to be on PCI Bus 0....

Registers Overview and Configuration Process • Device 0: DMI2 Root Port. Logically this appears as a PCI device residing on PCI Bus 0. Device 0 contains the standard PCI header registers, extended PCI configuration registers and DMI2 device specific configuration registers. • Device 1: PCI Express* Root Port 1a, 1b. Logically this appears as a “virtual” PCI-to-PCI bridge residing on PCI Bus 0 and is compliant with PCI Express* Local Bus Specification Revision 2.0. Device 1 contains the standard PCI Express*/PCI configuration registers including PCI Express* Memory Address Mapping registers....

Registers Overview and Configuration Process Device Mapping Each component in the processor is uniquely identified by a PCI bus address consisting of Bus Number, Device Number, and Function Number. Device configuration is based on the PCI Type 0 configuration conventions. All processor registers appear on the PCI bus assigned for the processor socket. Bus number is derived by the maximum bus range setting and processor socket number. Functions Specifically Handled by the Processor (Sheet 1 of 2) Register Group x4 Link from Processor to PCH Device 0 will work as a x4 PCI Express Port PCI...
