Introduction

The Intel

Core™2 Extreme processor QX9000 series and Intel

Core™2 Quad

processor Q9000, Q9000S, Q8000, and Q8000S series are based on the Enhanced

Intel

Core™ microarchitecture. The Enhanced Intel Core microarchitecture combines

the performance of previous generation Desktop products with the power efficiencies of

a low-power microarchitecture to enable smaller, quieter systems. The Intel

Core™2

Extreme processor QX9000 series and Intel

Core™2 Quad processor Q9000, Q9000S,

Q8000, and Q8000S series are 64-bit processors that maintains compatibility with IA-

32 software.

The processors use a Flip-Chip Land Grid Array (FC-LGA6) package technology, and

plugs into a 775-land surface mount, Land Grid Array (LGA) socket, referred to as the

LGA775 socket.

Note:

In this document, the Intel

Core™2 Extreme processor QX9000 series and the Intel

Core™2 Quad processor Q9000, Q9000S, Q8000, and Q8000S series may be referred

to simply as "the processor."

Note:

The following products are covered in this document:

• The Intel

Core™2 Extreme processor QX9000 series refers to the QX9770 and

QX9650.

• The Intel

Core™2 Quad processor Q9000 series refers to the Q9650, Q9550,

Q9505, Q9450, Q9400, and Q9300.

• The Intel

Core™2 Quad processor Q9000S series refers to the Q9550S, Q9505S,

and Q9400S.

• The Intel

Core™2 Quad processor Q8000 series refers to the Q8200, Q8300,

Q8400.

• The Intel

Core™2 Quad processor Q8000S series refers to the Q8200S and

Q8400S.

The processor is based on 45 nm process technology. The processor features the Intel

Advanced Smart Cache, a shared multi-core optimized cache that significantly reduces

latency to frequently used data. The processors feature 1600 MHz and 1333 MHz front

side bus (FSB) frequencies.The processors also feature two independent but shared

12 MB of L2 cache (2x6M), two independent but shared 8 MB of L2 cache (2x4M), two

independent but shared 6 MB of L2 cache (2x3M) or two independent but shared 4 MB

of L2 caches (2x2M).

The processor supports all the existing Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2),

Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3), Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extension 3

(SSSE3), and the Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.1 (SSE4.1). The processor supports

several Advanced Technologies: Execute Disable Bit, Intel

64 architecture (Intel

64),

and Enhanced Intel SpeedStep

Technology. In addition, the Intel

Core™2 Extreme

processor QX9000 series, Intel

Core™2 Quad processor Q9000 and Q9000S series,

and Intel

Core™2 Quad processors Q8400 and Q8400S support Intel

Virtualization

Technology (Intel

VT). Further, the Intel

Core™2 Quad processor Q9000 and

Q9000S series support Intel

Trusted Execution Technology (Intel

TXT).

The processor's front side bus (FSB) uses a split-transaction, deferred reply protocol.

The FSB uses Source-Synchronous Transfer of address and data to improve

performance by transferring data four times per bus clock (4X data transfer rate).

Along with the 4X data bus, the address bus can deliver addresses two times per bus

clock and is referred to as a "double-clocked" or 2X address bus. Working together, the

4X data bus and 2X address bus provide a data bus bandwidth of up to 12.4 GB/s.
