 processor family are the next 
generation of 64-bit, multi-core processors built on 22-nanometer process technology. 
The processors are designed for a two-chip platform. The two-chip platform consists of 
a processor and a Platform Controller Hub (PCH) and enables higher performance, 
lower cost, easier validation, and improved x-y footprint. The processor includes an 
Integrated Display Engine, Processor Graphics, PCI Express ports, and an Integrated 
Memory Controller. The processor is designed for desktop platforms. The processor 
offers either 6 or 16 graphic execution units (EUs). The number of EU engines 
supported may vary between processor SKUs. The processor is offered in an 1155-land 
LGA package (H2).

The Datasheet provides DC specifications, pinout and signal definitions, interface 
functional descriptions, and additional feature information pertinent to the 
implementation and operation of the processor on its respective platform.
