  • Abstract
    The next generation in the Itanium processor family is introduced. The processor has 4 dual-threaded cores integrated on die with a system interface and 30MB of cache in an 8M 65nm process. The 21.5times32.5mm2 die contains 2.05 billion transistors. The silicon is designed to operate the cores up to 2.0GHz and the system interface at 2.4GHz, with a thermal design power (TDP) of 170W at 110degC.
