Figure 6 shows general component placement for a Pentium 4 processor in the 478-pin package
and Intel 850 chipset-based desktop 4-layer motherboard system. The assumptions used for the
component placement are described in Table 3 and are consistent with the 4-layer customer
reference board (CRB) schematics.
