Introduction
The Intel
®
 Pentium
®
 4 processor 6xx sequence on 90 nm process in the 775-land package and the 
Intel
®
 Pentium
®
 4 processor Extreme Edition on 90 nm process in the 775-land package are 
follow-ons to the Pentium 4 processor in the 478-pin package, with enhancements to the Intel 
NetBurst
®
 microarchitecture. These Pentium 4 processors on 90 nm process in the 775-land 
package use Flip-Chip Land Grid Array (FC-LGA4) package technology, and plug into the 
LGA775 socket. The Intel Pentium 4 processor 6xx sequence on 90 nm process in the 775-land 
package and the Pentium 4 processor Extreme Edition on 90 nm process in the 775-land package, 
like their predecessor, the Pentium 4 processor in the 478-pin package, are based on the same Intel 
32-bit microarchitecture and maintain the tradition of compatibility with IA-32 software. 
The Intel Pentium 4 processor 6xx sequence on 90 nm process in the 775-land package and the 
Pentium 4 processor Extreme Edition on 90 nm process in the 775-land package support Intel
®
 
Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T)
Φ
 as an enhancement to Intel’s IA-32 
architecture. This enhancement enables the processor to execute operating systems and 
applications written to take advantage of Intel EM64T. With appropriate 64 bit supporting 
hardware and software, platforms based on an Intel processor supporting Intel EM64T can enable 
use of extended virtual and physical memory. Further details on the 64-bit extension architecture 
and programming model is provided in the Intel
®
 Extended Memory 64 Technology Software 
Developer Guide at http://developer.intel.com/technology/64bitextensions/.
Note:
In this document, unless otherwise specified, the Pentium 4 processor 6xx sequence on 90 nm 
process in the 775-land package and the Pentium 4 processor Extreme Edition on 90 nm process in 
the 775-land package are also referred to as Pentium 4 processor or simply as the processor.
Note:
In this document, unless otherwise specified, the Intel
®
 Pentium
®
 4 processor 6xx sequence refers 
to Intel Pentium 4 processors 670/672, 660/662, 650, 640, and 630. 
The Pentium 4 processor supports Hyper-Threading Technology
1
. Hyper-Threading Technology 
allows a single, physical processor to function as two logical processors. While some execution 
resources (such as caches, execution units, and buses) are shared, each logical processor has its 
own architecture state with its own set of general-purpose registers, control registers to provide 
increased system responsiveness in multitasking environments, and headroom for next generation 
multithreaded applications. Intel recommends enabling Hyper-Threading Technology with 
Microsoft Windows* XP Professional or Windows* XP Home, and disabling Hyper-Threading 
Technology via the BIOS for all previous versions of the Windows operating systems. For more 
information on Hyper-Threading Technology, see 
. Refer 
to 
, for Hyper-Threading Technology configuration details.
In addition to supporting all the existing Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2), there are 13 new 
instructions that further extend the capabilities of Intel processor technology. These new 
instructions are called Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3). These new instructions enhance the 
performance of optimized applications for the digital home (such as, video, image processing, and 
media compression technology). 3D graphics and other entertainment applications (such as, 
gaming) will have the opportunity to take advantage of these new instructions.
The processor’s Intel NetBurst microarchitecture FSB uses a split-transaction, deferred reply 
protocol like the Pentium 4 processor. The Intel NetBurst microarchitecture FSB uses Source-
Synchronous Transfer (SST) of address and data to improve performance by transferring data four 
times per bus clock (4X data transfer rate, as in AGP 4X). Along with the 4X data bus, the address
