 QPI for the Intel

®

 Itanium

®

 Processor 

9300 Series. This section contains information for Intel

®

 QPI slow boot up speed 

(1/4 frequency of the reference clock) and processor’s normal operating frequency, 4.8 
GT/s, for Intel

®

 QPI and Intel

®

 SMI.

For Intel

®

 QPI slow boot up speed, the signaling rate is defined as 1/4 the rate of the 

system reference clock. For example, a 133 MHz system reference clock would have a 
forwarded clock frequency of 33.33 MHz and the signaling rate would be 66.67 MT/s.

The transfer rates available for the processor are shown in
