L1 cache - bus

256-bit data path / full speed

L1 data cache

8KB data cache / 4-way set associative / write-through / 64 byte cache line / integrated

L1 instruction cache

Size not published / holds 12,000 micro-ops / 8-way set associative / integrated /

 

called Execution Trace Cache; caches decoded x86 instructions (micro-ops)

 

 

L2 cache - size

128KB / full speed (Advanced Transfer Cache)

L2 cache - data path

256-bit data path (32 bytes) / transfers on each bus clock / 128 byte cache line size (usually divided into two 64 byte

 

sectors) / 8-way set associative / integrated / unified (internal die; on die) / ECC

 

 

Frontside bus

400MHz (transfers data four times per clock) / address bus transfers at two times per clock / 64 byte cache line size

Memory addressability

64GB memory addressability / 36-bit addressing / address bus is double clocked at 200MHz

Frontside bus - width

64-bit data path

 

 

Execution units

2 integer units; 1 floating point units; 1 load unit; 1 store unit

 

Two integer units (or Arithmetic Logic Units) run at two times core frequency (Rapid Execution Engine)

Out-of-order instructions

Yes

Branch prediction

Dynamic (based on history) / 4KB Branch Target Buffer

Speculative execution

Yes (Advanced Dynamic Execution)

Math coprocessor

Pipelined floating point unit / handles 128-bit floating point registers
