Intel® Xeon® Processor 7400 Series Datasheet
Intel® Xeon® Processor 7400 Series are intended for high performance multi-
processor server systems. The processors support a Multiple Independent Bus (MIB) 
architecture with one processor on each bus. The MIB architecture provides improved 
performance by allowing increased FSB speeds and bandwidth. All versions of the 
Intel® Xeon® Processor 7400 Series will include manageability features. Components 
of the manageability features include an OEM EEPROM and Processor Information ROM 
which are accessed through an SMBus interface and contain information relevant to the 
particular processor and system in which it is installed. The Intel® Xeon® Processor 
7400 Series is packaged in a 604-pin Flip Chip Micro Pin Grid Array (FC-mPGA8) 
package and utilizes a surface-mount Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) mPGA604 socket. The 
Intel® Xeon® Processor 7400 Series supports 40-bit addressing.
Notes:
1.
Total accessible size of the L3 cache may vary by up to thirty-two (32) cache lines (64 bytes per line), 
depending on usage and operating environment.
2.
Total accessible size of L2 caches may vary by one cache line pair (128 bytes) per core, depending on 
usage and operating environment
Intel® Xeon® Processor 7400 Series-based platforms implement independent core 
voltage (V
CC
) power planes for each processor. FSB termination voltage (V
TT
) is shared 
and must connect to all FSB agents. The processor core voltage utilizes power delivery 
guidelines specified by VRM/EVRD 11.0 and its associated load line (see Voltage 
Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD) 11.0 Design 
Guidelines
 for further details). VRM/EVRD 11.0 will support the power requirements of 
all frequencies of the processors including Flexible Motherboard Guidelines (FMB) (see 
). Refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines for implementation 
details.
The Intel® Xeon® Processor 7400 Series supports 1066 MTS (Mega Transfers per 
Second) Front Side Bus operation. The FSB utilizes a split-transaction, deferred reply 
protocol and Source-Synchronous Transfer (SST) of address and data to improve 
performance. The processor transfers 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 a 2X address bus. In addition, the 
Request Phase completes in one clock cycle. Working together, the 4X data bus and 2X 
address bus provide a data bus bandwidth of up to 8.5 GBytes per second. The FSB is 
also used to deliver interrupts.
Signals on the FSB use Assisted Gunning Transceiver Logic (AGTL+) level voltages. 
 contains the electrical specifications of the FSB while implementation 
details are fully described in the appropriate platform design guidelines (refer to 
).
The Intel® Xeon® Processor 7400 Series supports Intel
®
 Cache Safe Technology on 
the L3 cache. This provides a threshold-based mechanism for cache error reporting. 
Intel recommends that fault prediction handlers rely on this mechanism to assess 
processor cache health. Please refer to the Intel

 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software 
Developer’s Manual, Volume 3A for more detailed information.
