1 Introduction
The 2nd Generation Intel
®
Core™ processor family mobile is the next generation of 64-
bit, multi-core mobile processor built on 32- nanometer process technology. Based on a
new micro-architecture, the processor is designed for a two-chip platform. The two-
chip platform consists of a processor and Platform Controller Hub (PCH). The platform
enables higher performance, lower cost, easier validation, and improved x-y footprint.
The processor includes Integrated Display Engine, Processor Graphics and Integrated
Memory Controller and is designed for mobile platforms. The processor comes with
either 6 or 12 Processor Graphics execution units (EU). The processor may be offered in
a rPGA988B, BGA1224 or BGA1023 package. Figure 1-1 shows an example platform
block diagram.
This document provides DC electrical specifications, signal integrity, differential
signaling specifications, pinout and signal definitions, interface functional descriptions,
thermal specifications, and additional feature information pertinent to the
implementation and operation of the processor on its respective platform.
