Originator Responses
The simplest policy that an originator may employ in response to receipt of a failing 
completion code is to retry the request. However, certain completion codes or FCS 
responses are indicative of an error in command encoding and a retry will not result in 
a different response from the client. Furthermore, the message originator must have a 
response policy in the event of successive failure responses.
Please refer to the definition of each command in 
 for a specific definition 
of possible command codes or FCS responses for a given command. The following 
response policy definition is generic, and more advanced response policies may be 
employed at the discretion of the originator developer.

Temperature Data
7.3.6.1
Format
The temperature is formatted in a 16-bit, 2’s complement value representing a number 
of 1/64 degrees centigrade. This format allows temperatures in a range of ±512°C to 
be reported to approximately a 0.016°C resolution.
7.3.6.2
Interpretation
The resolution of the processor’s Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) is approximately 1°C, 
which can be confirmed by a RDMSR from IA32_THERM_STATUS MSR (0x19C) where it 
is architecturally defined. PECI temperatures are sent through a configurable low-pass 
filter prior to delivery in the GetTemp() response data. The output of this filter produces 
temperatures at the full 1/64°C resolution even though the DTS itself is not this 
accurate.
Temperature readings from the processor are always negative, and imply an offset 
from the reference TCC activation temperature. As an example, assume that the TCC 
activation temperature reference is 100°C. A PECI thermal reading of -10°C indicates 
that the processor is running at 10°C below the TCC activation temperature, or 90°C.

Bad FCS

Fail with PECI client device error
Abort FCS
Retry
Fail with PECI client device error. May be due to illegal command codes.
Fail
Retry
Either the PECI client doesn’t support the current command code, or it has 
failed in its attempts to construct a response.
None (all 0’s) Force bus idle 
(1ms low), retry
Fail with PECI client device error. Client may be dead or otherwise non-
responsive (in RESET or S1, for example).
