Intel i3-4360T CM8064601481958 User Manual

System memory timing support is based on availability and is subject to change.

The Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) supports two memory organization modes –

single-channel and dual-channel. Depending upon how the DIMM Modules are

populated in each memory channel, a number of different configurations can exist.

In this mode, all memory cycles are directed to a single-channel. Single-channel mode

is used when either Channel A or Channel B DIMM connectors are populated in any

order, but not both.

The IMC supports Intel Flex Memory Technology Mode. Memory is divided into

symmetric and asymmetric zones. The symmetric zone starts at the lowest address in

each channel and is contiguous until the asymmetric zone begins or until the top

address of the channel with the smaller capacity is reached. In this mode, the system

runs with one zone of dual-channel mode and one zone of single-channel mode,

simultaneously, across the whole memory array.

Channels A and B can be mapped for physical channel 0 and 1 respectively or vice

versa; however, channel A size must be greater or equal to channel B size.

Dual-Channel Symmetric mode, also known as interleaved mode, provides maximum

performance on real world applications. Addresses are ping-ponged between the

channels after each cache line (64-byte boundary). If there are two requests, and the

second request is to an address on the opposite channel from the first, that request

can be sent before data from the first request has returned. If two consecutive cache

lines are requested, both may be retrieved simultaneously, since they are ensured to
