Module Description
3.1
Processor
Intel Core i7-620UE, i7-610E and Celeron P4505 Processor Series is the next generation of 64-bit, multi-core
mobile processor built on a 32- nanometer process technology. Throughout this document, Intel

i7-
620UE, i7-610E and Celeron P4505 Processor Series may be referred to as simply the processor. The processor
is designed for a two-chip platform as opposed to the traditional three-chip platforms (processor, GMCH, and
ICH). The two-chip platform consists of a processor and the Platform Controller Hub (PCH) and enables higher
performance, lower cost, easier validation, and improved x-y footprint. The PCH may also be referred to as
Mobile Intel® 5 Series Chipset (formerly Ibex Peak-M). Intel

Core
TM
i7 processor based low-power platform and is offered in a
BGA1288 package.
Included in this family of processors is an integrated graphics and memory controller die on the same package
as the processor core die. This two-chip solution of a processor core die with an integrated graphics and
memory controller die is known as a multi-chip package (MCP) processor.
Processor feature details:
• Two execution cores
• A 32-KB instruction and 32-KB data first-level cache (L1) for each core
• A 256-KB shared instruction/data second-level cache (L2) for each core
• Up to 4-MB shared instruction/data third-level cache (L3), shared among all cores
Interfaces:
• System Memory Support
•
dual-channel memory organization mode
•
Memory DDR3 data transfer rate of 1066 MT/s
•
1-Gb, and 2-Gb DDR3 DRAM technologies for x16 devices
• PCI Express*
•
The processor PCI Express* port(s) are fully-compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification, Revision
2.0 at 2.5GT/s.
•
The processor supports:
- One 16-lane PCI Express port for graphics or I/O.
- Two 8-lane PCI Express ports for graphics or I/O.
•
PCI Express Port 0 is mapped to PCI Device 1.
•
PCI Express Port 1 is mapped to PCI Device 6.
