The Intel
®
 Xeon
®
 Processor 7200 Series and 7300 Series support Intel
®
 Virtualization 
Technology for hardware-assisted virtualization within the processor. Intel 
Virtualization Technology is a set of hardware enhancements that can improve 
virtualization solutions. Intel Virtualization Technology is used in conjunction with 
Virtual Machine Monitor software enabling multiple, independent software 
environments inside a single platform. Further details on Intel Virtualization Technology 
can be found at

The Intel
®
 Xeon
®
 Processor 7200 Series and 7300 Series are intended for high 
performance multi-processor server systems. The processors support a Multi 
Independent Bus (MIB) architecture with one processor on each bus. The MIB 
architecture provides improved performance by allowing increased FSB speeds and 
bandwidth. All versions of the Intel
®
 Xeon
®
 Processor 7200 Series and 7300 Series will 
include manageability features. Components of the manageability features include an 
OEM EEPROM and Processor Information ROM which are accessed through an SMBus 
interface and contain information relevant to the particular processor and system in 
which it is installed. The Intel
®
 Xeon
®
 Processor 7200 Series and 7300 Series is 
packaged in a 604-pin Flip Chip Micro Pin Grid Array (FC-mPGA6) package and utilizes 
a surface-mount Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) mPGA604 socket. The Intel
®
 Xeon
®
 
Processor 7200 Series and 7300 Series support 40-bit addressing.
Intel
®
 Xeon
®
 Processor 7200 Series and 7300 Series-based platforms implement 
independent core voltage (V
CC
) power planes for each processor. FSB termination 
voltage (V
TT
) is shared and must connect to all FSB agents. The processor core voltage 
utilizes power delivery guidelines specified by VRM/EVRD 11.0 and its associated load 
line (see Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down 
(EVRD) 11.0 Design Guidelines
 for further details). VRM/EVRD 11.0 will support the 
power requirements of all frequencies of the processors including Flexible Motherboard 
Guidelines (FMB) (see 
). Refer to the appropriate platform design 
guidelines for implementation details.
The Intel
®
 Xeon
®
 Processor 7200 Series and 7300 Series supports 1066 MHz Front 
Side Bus operation. The FSB utilizes a split-transaction, deferred reply protocol and 
Source-Synchronous Transfer (SST) of address and data to improve performance. The 
processor transfers data four times per bus clock (4X data transfer rate, as in AGP 4X). 
Along with the 4X data bus, the address bus can deliver addresses two times per bus 
clock and is referred to as a ‘double-clocked’ or a 2X address bus. In addition, the 
Request Phase completes in one clock cycle. Working together, the 4X data bus and 2X 
address bus provide a data bus bandwidth of up to 8.5 GBytes per second. The FSB is 
also used to deliver interrupts.
