tTHROT_OPPREF. The minimum time between two opportunistic refreshes.
Should be set to tRFC in DCLKS. Zero is an invalid encoding. A value of 1 should
be programmed to disable the throttling of opportunistic refreshes. By setting this
field to tRFC, current to a single DIMM can be limited to that required to support
this scenario without significant performance impact:
- 8 panic refreshes in tREFI to one rank
- 1 opportunistic refresh every tRFC to another rank
- full bandwidth delivered by the third and fourth ranks
Platforms that can supply peak currents to the DIMMs should disable opportunistic
- 8 panic refreshes in tREFI to one rank
- 1 opportunistic refresh every tRFC to another rank
- full bandwidth delivered by the third and fourth ranks
Platforms that can supply peak currents to the DIMMs should disable opportunistic
refresh throttling for max performance.
