Datasheet

Commonly used terms are explained here for clarification:

• Intel

 Dual-Core Desktop processor E2000 series — Dual core 

processor in the FC-LGA6 package with a 1 MB L2 cache.

• Processor — For this document, the term processor is the generic form of the 

Intel

®

 Pentium

®

 Dual-Core Desktop processor E2000 series. The processor is a 

single package that contains one or more execution units.

• Keep-out zone — The area on or near the processor that system design can not 

use. 

• Processor core — Processor core die with integrated L2 cache. 
• LGA775 socket — The processors mate with the system board through a surface 

mount, 775-land, LGA socket.

• Integrated heat spreader (IHS) —A component of the processor package used 

to enhance the thermal performance of the package. Component thermal solutions 

interface with the processor at the IHS surface.

• Retention mechanism (RM) — Since the LGA775 socket does not include any 

mechanical features for heatsink attach, a retention mechanism is required. 

Component thermal solutions should attach to the processor via a retention 

mechanism that is independent of the socket.

• FSB (Front Side Bus) — The electrical interface that connects the processor to 

the chipset. Also referred to as the processor system bus or the system bus. All 

memory and I/O transactions as well as interrupt messages pass between the 

processor and chipset over the FSB.

• Storage conditions — Refers to a non-operational state. The processor may be 

installed in a platform, in a tray, or loose. Processors may be sealed in packaging or 

exposed to free air. Under these conditions, processor lands should not be 

connected to any supply voltages, have any I/Os biased, or receive any clocks. 

Upon exposure to “free air”(i.e., unsealed packaging or a device removed from 

packaging material) the processor must be handled in accordance with moisture 

sensitivity labeling (MSL) as indicated on the packaging material.

• Functional operation — Refers to normal operating conditions in which all 

processor specifications, including DC, AC, system bus, signal quality, mechanical 

and thermal are satisfied. 

• Execute Disable Bit — The Execute Disable bit allows memory to be marked as 

executable or non-executable, when combined with a supporting operating system. 

If code attempts to run in non-executable memory the processor raises an error to 

the operating system. This feature can prevent some classes of viruses or worms 

that exploit buffer over run vulnerabilities and can thus help improve the overall 

security of the system. See the Intel

®

 Architecture Software Developer's Manual 

for more detailed information.

• Intel

 64 Architecture — An enhancement to Intel's IA-32 architecture, allowing 

the processor to execute operating systems and applications written to take 

advantage of the Intel 64 architecture. Further details on Intel 64 architecture and 

programming model can be found in the Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology 

Software Developer Guide at http://developer.intel.com/technology/

64bitextensions/.

• Enhanced Intel SpeedStep

 Technology — Enhanced Intel SpeedStep 

technology allows trade-offs to be made between performance and power 

consumptions, based on processor utilization. This may lower average power 

consumption (in conjunction with OS support).
