NOTES:
1. DP only
2. UP: MCH and processor clock drivers are tied together to eliminate pin-to-pin skew. -175 and +175 pin-to-pin
skew apply only to DP.
3. UP only
4. Clock drivers tied together to el iminate pin-to-pin skew.
5. The skew between any PCICLK clocks on any two inputs in the system
6. The skew between any APIC clocks on any two inputs in the system
7. If SSC is enabled, an additional ±40 ps must be added to the pin-to-pin skew.
8. If SSC is enabled, an additional ±60 ps must be added to the pin-to-pin skew.
