Introduction 1 Introduction ® The Intel Core™ i7 processor family for LGA2011 socket are the next generation of 64-bit, multi-core desktop processors built on 22-nanometer process technology. Based ® on the low-power/high-performance Intel Core™ i7 processor micro-architecture, the processor is designed for a two-chip platform instead of to the traditional three-chip platforms (processor, Memory Controller Hub, and Platform Controller Hub). The two- chip platform consists of a processor an

Interfaces 2.2.1.1 Transaction Layer The upper layer of the PCI Express* architecture is the Transaction Layer. The Transaction Layer's primary responsibility is the assembly and disassembly of Transaction Layer Packets (TLPs). TLPs are used to communicate transactions, such as read and write, as well as certain types of events. The Transaction Layer also manages flow control of TLPs. 2.2.1.2 Data Link Layer The middle layer in the PCI Express* stack, the Data Link Layer, serves as an int
