Application Notes

This section contains documents that are applicable to all 6x86 processor voltages -- the 3.3V and 3.52V processors, and the 2.8V processor (6x86L). Also see the 6x86 Processor Data Book page.

6x86 Thermal Design Considerations (PDF 304K)
This document contains information pertinent to all 6x86 processor voltages. It describes the heat flow from a CPU chip to the ambient air. Equations concerning the heat flow through the thermal resistances in this path are provided. Two typical thermal designs are provided. For 2.8V 6x86 processor Icc and other specifications, refer to the 2.8V 6x86 Processor Data Book Addendum (6x86L).

6x86/P54C Bus Interface Differences (PDF 35K)
This document contains information pertinent to all 6x86 processor voltages. It lists the Pentium® (P54C) pins not supported on the 6x86, pinout and bus functional differences.

Platform Verification Laboratory 6x86 Test Procedure (PDF 256K)
This document contains information pertinent to all 6x86 processor voltages, with one exception: Test 20 doesn't apply to the 2.8V 6x86 processor (6x86L). Reviews the 23 tests used to verify motherboard compatibility with the 6x86 processor.
