Overview

Pentium II or Deschutes Processor

The Pentium®II or Deschutes Processor (The Deschutes Processor as 300/

100MHz, 350/100MHz, 400/100MHz and 450/100MHz speed with 512K-L2 cache

Versions.) is the follow-on to the Pentium®Processor. The Pentium®II or

Deschutes Processor, like the Pentium®Pro processor, implements a Dynamic

Execution micro-architecture -- a unique combination of multiple branch prediction,

data flow analysis, and speculative execution. This enables the Pentium®II Proces-

sor to deliver higher performance than the Pentium®processor, while maintaining

binary compatibility with all previous Intel architecture processors.

A significant feature of the Pentium®II or Deschutes Processor, from a system

perspective, is the built-in direct multiprocessing support. In order to achieve

multiprocessing, and maintain the memory and I/O bandwidth to support it, new

system designs are needed. For systems with dual processors, it is important to

consider the additional power burdens and signal integrity issues of supporting

multiple loads on a high speed bus. The Pentium®II or Deschutes Processor card

supports both uni-processor and dual processor implementations.

The Pentium®II or Deschutes Processor utilizes Single Edge Contact (S.E.C.)

(Figure 1) cartridge packaging technology. The S.E.C. cartridge allows the L2 cache

to remain tightly coupled to the processor, while maintaining flexibility when imple-

menting high performance processors into OEM systems. The second level cache is

performance optimized and tested at the cartridge level. The S.E.C. cartridge utilizes

surface mounted core components and a printed circuit board with an edge finger

connection. The S.E.C. cartridge package introduced on the Pentium®II Processor

will also be used in future Slot 1 processors.

The S.E.C. cartridge has the following features: a thermal plate, a cover and a PCB

with an edge finger connection. The thermal plate allows standardized heatsink

attachment or customized thermal solutions. The thermal plate enables a reusable

heatsink to minimize fit issues for serviceability, upgradeability and replacement. The

full enclosure also protects the surface mount components. The edge finger connec-

tion maintains socketabilty for system configuration. The edge finger connector is

denoted as ‘Slot 1 connector’ in this and other documentation.

The entire enclosed product is called the Pentium®II or Deschutes Processor. The

IntroductionEP-61BXC-A

packaging technology and each of the physical elements of the product are referred

to using accurate technical descriptions. This allows clear reference to the products

as just a processor. This is the model used in past packaging technologies like PGA,

TCP, PQFP, DIP, etc.

S.E.C. Cartridge Terminology

• Pentium®II or Deschutes Processor

The new enclosed card packaging technology is called a “Single Edge

Contact cartridge.” This is similar to previous names for packaging

technology such as PGA or TCP.

• Processor card

The green PCB (with or without components on it)

• Processor core

The silicon on the PLGA package on the PCB

• Cover

The plastic cover on the opposite side from the thermal plate.

• Slot 1

The slot that the S.E.C. cartridge plugs into, just as the Pentium® Pro

processor uses Socket 8.

• Retention mechanism

Formerly ‘retention module’ the dual posts, etc. that holds the cartridge

in place.

• Thermal plate

The heatsink attachment plate.

• Heat sink supports

The Pentium®II or Deschutes Processor

is the first product to utilize the S.E.C.

cartridge technology and Slot 1

connector. Unless otherwise noted, any

references to “Pentium®II Processor,”

“Pentium®II or Deschutes Processor/Slot 1 processor” or “Deschutes Processor”

will apply to both the Pentium®II Processor desktop processors.

Accelerated Graphics Port

(AGP or A.G.P.)

Typically, 3D graphics rendering requires a tremendous amount of memory, and

demands ever increasing throughput speed as well. As 3D products for the personal

computer become more and more popular, these demands will only increase. This

will cause a rise in costs for both end users and manufacturers. Lowering these

costs as well as improving performance is the primary motivation behind AGP. By

providing a massive increase in the bandwidth available between the video card and

the processor, it will assist in relieving some of these pressures for quite sometime.

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your systems opera-

tions and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and RPM of fan.
