Introduction
• PCI Express* extended configuration space. The first 256 bytes of configuration
space aliases directly to the PCI Compatibility configuration space. The remaining
portion of the fixed 4-KB block of memory-mapped space above that (starting at
100h) is known as extended configuration space.

• PCI Express* Enhanced Access Mechanism. Accessing the device configuration
space in a flat memory mapped fashion.
• Automatic discovery, negotiation, and training of link out of reset
• Traditional AGP style traffic (asynchronous non-snooped, PCI-X Relaxed ordering)
• Peer segment destination posted write traffic (no peer-to-peer read traffic) in

• 64-bit downstream address format; however, the processor never generates an
address above 64 GB (Bits 63:36 will always be zeros)
• 64-bit upstream address format; however, the processor responds to upstream
read transactions to addresses above 64 GB (addresses where any of Bits 63:36
are nonzero) with an Unsupported Request response. Upstream write transactions
to addresses above 64 GB will be dropped.

• Re-issues Configuration cycles that have been previously completed with the
Configuration Retry status
• PCI Express* reference clock is 100-MHz differential clock
• Power Management Event (PME) functions
• Dynamic width capability
• Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI and MSI-X) messages
• Polarity inversion
• Static lane numbering reversal
• Power Management Event (PME) functions
• Dynamic width capability
• Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI and MSI-X) messages
• Polarity inversion
• Static lane numbering reversal
— Does not support dynamic lane reversal, as defined (optional) by the PCI
Express Base Specification
• Supports Half Swing “low-power/low-voltage” mode
Note:
The processor does not support PCI Express* Hot-Plug.

Direct Media Interface (DMI)
• DMI 2.0 support
• Four lanes in each direction
• 5 GT/s point-to-point DMI interface to PCH is supported
• Raw bit-rate on the data pins of 5.0 Gb/s, resulting in a real bandwidth per pair of
• Four lanes in each direction
• 5 GT/s point-to-point DMI interface to PCH is supported
• Raw bit-rate on the data pins of 5.0 Gb/s, resulting in a real bandwidth per pair of
500 MB/s given the 8b/10b encoding used to transmit data across this interface.
Does not account for packet overhead and link maintenance.

• Maximum theoretical bandwidth on interface of 2 GB/s in each direction
simultaneously, for an aggregate of 4 GB/s when DMI x4
