processor. A minimum V
CC 
voltage is provided in 
 and changes with frequency. This 
allows processors running at a higher frequency to have a relaxed minimum V
CC 
voltage 
specification. The specifications have been set such that one voltage regulator can work with all 
supported frequencies.
Individual processor VID values may be calibrated during manufacturing such that two devices at 
the same core speed may have different default VID settings. Furthermore, any Dual-Core 
Intel Xeon processor 7000 series, even those on the same processor FSB, can drive different VID 
settings during normal operation.
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7000 series uses six voltage identification pins (VID[5:0]) to 
support automatic selection of power supply voltages. 
 specifies the voltage level 
corresponding to the state of VID[5:0]. A ‘1’ in this table refers to a high voltage level and a ‘0’ 
refers to a low voltage level. If the processor socket is empty (i.e. when the voltage regulator sees 
VID[5:0] = 111111 or VID[5:0] = 011111), or the voltage regulation circuit cannot supply the 
voltage that is requested, the processor’s voltage regulator must disable itself. See the Vcc Voltage 
Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD) 10.2 Design 
Guidelines 
for more details.
The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7000 series provides the ability to operate while transitioning 
to an adjacent VID and its associated processor core voltage (V
CC
). This will represent a DC shift 
in the load line. It should be noted that a low-to-high or high-to-low voltage state change may result 
in as many VID transitions as necessary to reach the target core voltage. Transitions above the 
specified VID are not permitted. 
 includes VID step sizes and DC shift ranges. 
The VRM or VRD utilized must be capable of regulating its output to the value defined by the new 
VID. DC specifications for VID transitions are included in 
. Please refer to 
the Vcc Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD) 10.2 
Design Guidelines 
for more details.
Power source characteristics must be guaranteed to be stable whenever the supply to the voltage 
regulator is stable.
Further details and specifications will be included in future revisions of this document.
