• Intel

 Trusted Execution Technology - A highly versatile set of hardware 

extensions to Intel processors and chipsets that, with appropriate software, 
enhance the platform security capabilities.

• Intel

QPI) — A cache-coherent, links-based 

interconnect specification for Intel processors, chipsets, and I/O bridge 
components.

• 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 Intel

®

64.

• Intel

 VT) — A set of hardware 

enhancements to Intel server and client platforms that can improve virtualization 
solutions. VT provides a foundation for widely-deployed virtualization solutions and 
enables more robust hardware assisted virtualization solution.

• 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.

• Jitter — Any timing variation of a transition edge or edges from the defined Unit 

Interval (UI).

• LGA1366 Socket — The 1366-land FC-LGA package mates with the system board 

through this surface mount, 1366-contact socket.

• Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) — The most common set of 

environmental design guidelines applied to telecommunications equipment in the 
United States.

• Server SKU — A processor Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) to be installed in either 

server or workstation platforms. Electrical, power and thermal specifications for 
these SKU’s are based on specific use condition assumptions. Server processors 
may be further categorized as Frequency Optimized, Advanced, Standard and Low 
Power SKUs. For further details on use condition assumptions, please refer to the 
latest Product Release Qualification (PRQ) Report available via your Customer 
Quality Engineer (CQE) contact.

• 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.

• Unit Interval (UI) — Signaling convention that is binary and unidirectional. In 

this binary signaling, one bit is sent for every edge of the forwarded clock, whether 
it be a rising edge or a falling edge. If a number of edges are collected at instances

then the UI at instance “n” is defined as:

• Workstation SKU — A processor SKU to be installed in workstation platforms 

only. Electrical, power and thermal specifications for these processors have been 
developed based on Intel’s reliability goals at a reference use condition. In addition, 
the processor validation and production test conditions have been optimized based 
on these conditions. Operating “Workstation” processors in a server environment or 
other application, could impact reliability performance, which means Intel’s 
reliability goals may not be met. For further details on use condition assumptions or 
reliability performance, please refer to the latest Product Release Qualification 
(PRQ) Report available via your Customer Quality Engineer (CQE) contact.
