Front Side Bus Clock (BCLK[1:0]) and Processor Clocking
BCLK[1:0] directly controls the FSB interface speed as well as the core frequency of the 
processor. As in previous generation processors, the processor core frequency is a 
multiple of the BCLK[1:0] frequency. The processor bus ratio multiplier will be set at its 
default ratio during manufacturing. The processor supports Half Ratios between 7.5 
and 13.5 (see 
The processor uses a differential clocking implementation. For more information on the 
processor clocking, contact your Intel field representative.
NOTES:
1.
Individual processors operate only at or below the rated frequency. 
2.
Listed frequencies are not necessarily committed production frequencies.
