[ Pentium/Pentium MMX | Pentium Pro/Pentium II/Pentium
III | Pentium4 | Athlon/Duron | Itanium | Athlon 64/Opteron ]
The chipsets whose names are
green italicized have not yet
been released and the information is preliminary; some of it may
be wrong. Take it with a grain of salt.
This chart may or may not be updated in the
future. Yeah, I know, there are waaaay too many defunct and moldy
chipset charts around, but nobody seemed to address the cacheability
thing; which is what this page originally started out as.
Within each manufacturer's category, the
chipsets are grouped roughly by Socket. Socket 5/7 processors form
one group. Socket 8 forms a second. Slot 1 and Socket 370 form a
third. Slot 2 forms a fourth. And the EV6 (K7) chipsets are separated
into their own groupings. Because certain chipsets share the same
bus (notably the P6 bus), there may be some overlap of processors.
Within each group the chipsets are listed in rough chronological
order. Obviously not all chipsets are listed here.

Voodoo series, Matrox G200, and Intel i740-based cards)
from use in motherboards with this chipset. Quick rule
of thumb: if your card supports AGP 4x mode, it should
fit and operate in a 1.5v AGP slot.
- SMA - Shared Memory Architecture (a
bit different from UMA; basically an integrated AGP implementation)

Notes:
- The ECC/Parity column refers to whether
or not the chipset supports error detection and correction
for the system RAM. It doesn't indicate whether any onboard
L2 has error detection. Also, any ECC function for the L2
cache on various sixth generation chips is handled exclusively
by the CPU itself; the chipset doesn't deal with this. A 'Yes'
in this column indicates there is some sort of error detection,
but I'm not sure what flavor.
- Many chipset features (such as the
maximum amount of L2 cache or pseudo-synchronous operation)
are not always implemented in all motherboards. Simply because
a chipset supports a particular feature doesn't mean your
motherboard necessarily has that feature.
- The only bus speeds listed with each
chipset are those that it officially supports. The Athlon,
Willamette, Foster, and Merced chipsets all use a dual (2x)
or quad-pumped (4x) bus that hits on the rising and falling
edges of the clock, yielding a faster effective bus speed.
- Running chipsets at odd bus speeds
(75, 83, 112, 124MHz) can be hazardous to your system's overall
stability. Most chipsets can only run PCI/AGP components as
well as IDE channels synchronously, which forces the various
buses to run outside their specifications when running at
75/83/112/124MHz. You won't physically damage the components
by running them like this, but it can cause a system to behave
erratically or even corrupt the occasional hard drive partition.
Use with caution.
- Although this page doesn't deal with
486 chipsets, beware of fake cache chips on 486 motherboards.
Cache Check
7 can be helpful in determining what you have. Any chips
with 'Write-Back' written on them are likely fake; write-back
is a mode, not a type of SRAM chip.
- The only difference between the Aladdin
IV and the Aladdin IV+ is the chipset Southbridge.
- Concerning the ALi Aladdin IV, IV+,
V, and V+ chipsets:
- The Aladdin IV and V chipsets
may or may not be able to run in write-through mode. Personally,
I don't think they can, but I really don't know. I'm assuming
only write-back mode in the following paragraphs.
- With 256KB of L2 present, the
Aladdin IV and IV+
chipsets can use the 8Kx2 MESI cache line status bits
for its modified and invalid bits, yielding 512MB cacheable
with an 11-bit Tag. With 512KB of L2 cache present, the
chipset can use the MESI bits if they are rearranged into
16Kx1 and one Tag bit is stolen for use as the invalid
bit (like the Intel 430HX chipset does for its 512KB L2
cache), yielding 512MB cacheable with an 11-bit (effectively
10-bit) Tag. With 1MB of L2, the MESI probably can't be
used at all, so two bits would need to be stolen from
the TagRAM (leaving only 9 bits for address mapping),
yielding 512MB cacheable in write-back mode.
So, based on these assumptions:

- The original Aladdin V chipset
is interesting because its TagRAM is broken. If it were functioning,
it would use a 16Kx10 SRAM for Tag store and 16Kx2 for MESI.
With 256KB of L2, it supposedly can cache 1GB of RAM; but
I have no idea how this works (you would need a 12-bit TagRAM
along with the MESI bits). With 512KB, it can cache 512MB.
For 1MB of L2, you would have to rearrange the MESI bits to
32Kx1 and steal an invalid bit from the Tag, yielding 512MB
cacheable.
That's how it's supposed
to work, but since it's broken, all revisions up through Revision
'E' of the Aladdin V chipset can only cache up to 128MB in write-back
mode using an external 8-bit TagRAM with 512KB of L2 cache. The
chipset uses its pair of MESI bits for the dirty and invalid bits.

- The Aladdin V+ adds an official 100MHz
bus speed over the Aladdin V.
- When run at 100MHz, only 6 SDRAM rows
can be used in the Aladdin V+. Also, ECC does not function
above 83MHz.
- The AMD 640 chipset
has various cacheing configurations. It can use the first
seven Tag bits [6:0] of its 8-bit Tag as TagRAM with TA[7]
acting as a modified bit in write-back mode. Or all 8 Tag
bits can be used for addressability, each acting as its own
modified line (this doubles the cacheable range in write-back
mode, but is slower than if one bit were used exclusively
as the modified (dirty) bit). This 8-bit scheme is the default
setting for the chipset. A 9th Tag bit can be used
with a single exclusive modified bit for cacheing up to 998MB
in WT mode or 510MB in WB. And a 10th Tag bit is
also available for cacheing up to 1998MB but, like the 8-bit
Tag configuration, all Tags act as their own modified bits.
The cacheable region is defined by the size of the L2 cache
and which TagRAM scheme is used minus the size of the cache
itself (no explanation is given in the datasheets, but because
the 640 is based on a VIA chipset (the VP2/97), I believe
it's the same as the VIA MVP3/MVP4 Invalid bit doohickey listed
below).
Of course since the chipset can only address 768MB of RAM,
some of these cacheable limits are simply theoretical.

- The Shuttle HOT-603 (the only motherboard
that shipped with the 640 chipset), uses the 8-bit Tag w/
1 modified scheme for its 1MB L2, yielding 255MB cacheable
in WT mode and 127MB in WB.
- AFAIK, the AMD 640AGP chipset was
never released.
- The AMD Athlon processor was initially
demoed with the 751/755 chipset, but the 751 (Irongate) northbridge
was actually released accompanied by the 756 (Viper) southbridge
instead. This chipset pair was given the name 750.
- The AMD 750 chipset may come bundled
with the VIA VT82C686A southbridge rather than the default
AMD 756 southbridge.
- The AMD 760 chipset only runs its
memory synchronously with the FSB, so to fully utilize PC2100
(266MHz) DDR-SDRAM, a 133MHz-based CPU must be used. If the
FSB is set to run at 100MHz rather than 133MHz, "PC2100" DDR
SDRAM will run at 200MHz effective (same as PC1600 DDR).
- The AMD 760 chipset can come with
either the AMD 766 southbridge or the VIA 686B southbridge.
But in reality the 760 can only be found with the VIA 686B
southbridge on available motherboards.
- The AMD 760MP chipset can only utilize
PCI-66 when using a PCI-66 compatible southbridge (this excludes
the AMD 766 southbridge).
- The AMD 762MP northbridge has specific
incompatibilities with the VIA VT82C686B southbridge when
write-snooping and when using ACPI suspend mode with Registered
DIMMs. Note that the 762MP northbridge does not support unbuffered
DIMMs; only Registered memory is supported.
- The ATI S1-370 TL chipset may come
with the ALi 1635D or 1543 southbridge.
- The ATI IGP 320 chipset may come with
the IXP 200 or the VIA VT82C686B southbridge.
- The ATI IXP250 adds wake-on-LAN and
DMI functionality over the IXP200.
- The Intel 430LX has 9 Tag bits available
(bits [27:19]) when 512KB of L2 cache is present and 10 Tag
bits (bits [27:18]) when 256KB of cache is used. So both 256KB
and 512KB L2 sizes cache the same amount of memory.
- The Intel 430NX, 430FX, 430VX, 430HX,
and 430TX chipsets do not support write-through mode for the
L2 cache.
- The Intel 430HX chipset uses one 8-bit
wide TagRAM chip (bits [7:0]) for cacheing the bottom 64MB
of system memory in write-back mode. When a second 8-bit wide
TagRAM chip is installed into the second socket, the chipset
can use the extended Tag addresses to cache up to 512MB of
RAM in write-back mode. The extra 8-bit TagRAM only adds 3
Tag bits [10:8] to the addressable cache range. The 430HX
can only address 512MB of memory anyway, so more Tag bits
aren't needed.
- The 430HX can support 0KB, 256KB,
and 512KB of L2 cache. In the 256KB configuration, an external
8Kx8 SRAM is used along with the internal 8Kx2 MESI to cache
up to 64MB. With 512KB present, a 16Kx8 external SRAM is used
and the internal MESI is changed into a 16Kx1 configuration.
You lose one bit (the invalid bit) from the MESI, so one bit
from the Tag bits must be stolen for use as the invalid bit.
Because it loses a Tag bit, this results in the 512KB L2 having
the same cacheable range (64MB) as the 256KB configuration.
If you were using the Extended 11-bit Tag mentioned above,
then cacheable range for both L2 sizes would be 512MB instead
of 64MB. This same cache 'twizzle' also appears to be implemented
on the 430FX, 430VX, and 430TX chipsets (each mention that
with 512KB, the external SRAM contains the Tag and valid bits).
- Because the Intel 430VX chipset was
one of the first to support SDRAM, many motherboards based
on this chipset only support 2-clock SDRAM DIMMs (this also
applies to some early 430TX boards). There are both 2-clock
and 4-clock SDRAMs. The 'clock' determines the number of DRAM
chips accessed each cycle. Contact your mobo manufacturer
to determine which kind your motherboard supports. Although
4-clock SDRAM might work in a 2-clock board and,
likewise, 2-clock SDRAM might work in a 4-clock mobo,
the only way to tell is to try it. Most PC-66 SDRAM produced
is of the 4-clock variety. All PC-100 and PC-133 SDRAM is
4-clock. Don't be surprised if it doesn't work in your motherboard.
Another hang-up concerning the 430VX (as well as 430FX) chipset
is the fact that it only supports 16Mbit DRAM densities. All
SDRAM currently being produced is 64-Mbit or higher.
- 128Mbit DRAM is supported by the C-1
(and later) steppings of the 440BX chipset in certain configurations
(16Mx8 organization). Documented support for Enhanced SDRAM
in the 440BX was added in the Spec Update.
- The 1/4 PCI clock divider on the Intel
440BX and 440ZX chipsets exists, but it's unofficial. But
there is no 1/2 divider for AGP, so 133MHz may be quite iffy
with an AGP video card. Not to mention that anything over
100MHz is overclocking anyway.
- The Intel 810, 810e, 820, and 840
chipsets can *only* run its SDRAM system memory at
100MHz; therefore PC-100 (or faster) SDRAM is required even
though the system bus itself actually can run at 66, 100,
or 133MHz (depending on the chipset). Strange, but true. The
i815 is the first Intel chipset to support PC133 SDRAM.
- The Intel 810L chipset comes with
I/O Control Hub 82801AB (ICH0). ICH0 supports ATA-33 and 4
PCI busmasters.
- The Intel 810 chipset comes with I/O
Control Hub 82801AA (ICH). ICH supports ATA-66 and 6 PCI busmasters.
- The i810e and the DC100 version of
the i810 chipset support 4MB of display cache for Z-buffer
and come with the ICH controller hub, not ICH0.
- The Intel 810 chipset has an erratum
that prevents the SIMD instructions on the Pentium III chip
from functioning; this was fixed with the 810E version of
the chipset.
- The ??? stepping of the 810e and 810e2
chipsets support the Pentium III Tualatin processor. The older
??? stepping does not.
- The Intel 82802 FirmWare Hub comes
as either a 4Mbit flash memory FWH (82802AB) or an 8Mbit flash
memory FWH (82802AC).
- The Intel 820 chipset supports D-RDRAM
technologies in densities as high as 256Mbit, but SDRAM (via
the MTH) is limited to 128Mbit. To achieve 1GB of memory with
SDRAM on the i820, Registered SDRAM must be used. Note that
SDRAM support has been removed from the 820 chipset because
of reliability concerns.
- The Intel i815e and i815ep differ
from the i815 and i815p by what controller hub they use. The
'e' chipsets use ICH2 and the non-'e' chipsets use the older
ICH.
- The i815p and i815ep chipsets do not
have onboard graphics controller.
- The i815g and i815eg chipsets only
have the onboard graphics controller and do not have an AGP
slot.
- The Intel 815 chipsets can support
3 double-sided DIMMs when running the RAM at 100MHz, but only
2 double-sided DIMMs when running it at 133MHz. In order to
run the system memory at 133MHz, the front side bus must run
at 133MHz. Conversely, you *can* run system memory at 100MHz
with the FSB at 133MHz. Also, memory can be run at 100MHz
(but not 133MHz) when using a 66MHz FSB.
- The B-0 stepping of the 815, 815e,
815p, and 815ep chipsets support the Pentium III Tualatin
processor. The older A-2 stepping does not.
- The Intel ICH3 integrates the firmware
hub.
- The Intel 840 chipset comes with a
choice of three optional components: P64H (64-bit PCI controller
hub), MRH-R (Rambus memory repeater hubs that allow for more
Rambus RIMMs on each channel), and MRH-S (SDRAM memory repeater
hub to allow SDRAM to function on the motherboard). As much
as 4GB of unbuffered SDRAM or 8GB of Registered SDRAM may
be used on the i840. Note that the SDRAM memory repeater hub
has been removed from the spec due to reliability problems.
- The Intel 840 chipset can only support
quad CPUs with a 100MHz bus; running quad CPUs on a 133MHz
bus is not validated. Dual CPUs on a 133MHz bus is fine, however.
- In October, 2002, official PC1066
RDRAM support was added to the 850E chipset.
- The Intel 855 (Tulloch) chipset was
originally billed in the press as being simply a cut-down
version of the 850 Tehama, with a single Rambus channel and
smaller memory capacity for use in lower-end systems. Later
"reports" pegged it as a Tehama successor supporting 4i Rambus,
32-bit RIMMS, PC1066 RDR, and even 8x AGP. I'm honestly not
sure which leaked specs are correct. And since it was cancelled,
we may never really know.
- The Intel 845G and 845GL are picky
in what memory specs they support (single-sided/double-sided,
etc.) See Intel's datasheets for more info.
- The Intel 845GL and 845GV do not support
an AGP slot.
- The Intel 7205 chipset can only runs
its memory synchronously with the FSB. Identical pairs must
be used for Dual Channel operation.
- The NVidia nForce chipsets differ
by what AGP texturing (memory for graphics) configuration
they use. Crush 11 uses a 64-bit SMA configuration, sharing
main memory with the rest of the system. Crush 12 uses a dual
channel DDR configuration (effectively 128-bit) with one channel
(a separate dedicated DIMM) used for the onboard graphics
memory. If an external AGP card is present the second memory
channel can be utilized by the system instead. The same is
true for the Crush 17 and 18 chipsets, respectively. Though
it looks like Crush 17 got dropped from NVidia's lineup.
- The nForce chipsets come both with
and without a Dolby Digital 2.1 encoder (MCP-D comes with
the encoder, MCP does not).
- The nForce2 chipsets can come with
either the more advanced MCP-T or a cut-down version, the
MCP[2]. I've called it MCP[2] because it's a revised version
of the MCP (with USB 2.0 and AC97). MCP[2] can also be combined
with the older nForce northbridges (nForce 230 and 430) as
can MCP-T (nForce 230-T and 430-T).
- The nForce3 Pro 150 has a 16-bit downlink
and 8-bit uplink for its Hypertransport link. The nForce3
Pro 250 has 16-bit links for both directions.
- The OPTi Viper, Viper-N, Viper-N+,
and ViperMax chipsets can either use Tag address 0 from the
primary Tag chip for the dirty bit, leaving seven Tag bits
(D[7:1]) for addressing (which halves the max cacheable in
WB mode). Or use a 32Kx9 TagRAM chip, which includes a dedicated
dirty bit (D[8]). Or use D[0] from a separate Tag chip as
a dirty bit. The latter scheme disregards the seven other
Tag bits (D[7:1]) on the secondary Tag chip. The Viper, Viper-N,
Viper-N+, and ViperMax support up to 2MB of asynchronous cache
or 512KB of synchronous cache.
- The SiS 5571 originally was supposed
to support up to 1MB of PB L2 cache, but the max is actually
512KB.
- The SiS 5571, 5597/98, 5581/82, and
5591/92 chipsets have a separate internal dirty bit so the
entire TagRAM can be used for address mapping in write-back
mode.
- The L2 cache on the SiS 5597/98, 5581/82,
5591/92, and 530 chipsets can only run in write-back mode
(write-through can only be used for cache sizing).
- The SiS 5597 differs from the SiS
5598 only in what form factor motherboard it is designed for.
The SiS 5581/5582, SiS 5591/5592, VIA VP3 (597/597AT), and
VIA MVP3 (598/598AT) also differ from each other only by what
form factor board they are designed for.
- The SiS 5591 chipset has a 100MHz
bus, but only in the later revisions.
- The SiS 530 and 620 chipsets may come
with either the 5595 or 960 southbridge.
- AFAIK, the SiS 621 chipset was never
released. It was essentially replaced by the SiS 630.
- The SiS 630S chipset differs from
the 630E chipset in it allows for an AGP slot for video card
upgrades; the 630E does not. And it supports VC SDRAM memory.
- The SiS 645 and 650 chipsets support
up to 3GB of PC2100 DDR SDRAM. When using the faster PC2700
(DDR 333) only 2 DIMMs can be used, limiting the chipset to
2GB max mem.
- The SiS 646 chipset was renamed 645DX.
- The SiS 648FX chipset supports up
to three DDR-333 (PC2700) or two DDR-400 (PC3200) DIMMs.
- The SiS 650GX is the same as the 650
chipset except it does not support an AGP slot.
- The SiS 651 chipset can support a
maximum of three PC2100 DDR DIMMs or two PC2700 DDR DIMMs.
- The SiS 661FX chipset can support
up to 3GB of PC2700 DDR or 2GB of PC3200 DDR.
- The SiS 741 chipset supports an external
AGP slot in addition to its internal video chipset. The SiS
740 chipset does not have the external slot.
- The VIA VP, VP2, VP2/97, VPX, VPX/97,
and VP3 all seem to use the same cacheing scheme as the AMD
640 mentioned above (including
subtracting the size of the L2 from the top of cacheable RAM
to get the true cacheable range). Therefore:

-
BEDO support was removed
from the VIA VP2 datasheet.
-
Any ECC capability was
removed from the VIA VPX and VPX/97 chipsets.
-
Even though the VIA
VP3 and Apollo Pro chipsets may claim to support DDR SDRAM,
this support refers to an older specification of the memory
type. These chipsets are not compatible with the current DDR
spec.
-
Support for DDR-SDRAM,
ESDRAM, and VC SDRAM was removed from the VIA MVP3 chipset
specs.
-
Some motherboards may
combine the VIA MVP3 northbridge with the 596A (or 596B) southbridge
rather than the 586B southbridge.
-
The
VIA MVP3 and MVP4 max out at 127.5MB cacheable when 512KB
of L2 is present, 255MB cacheable with 1MB of L2, and 510MB
cacheable with 2MB of L2 in write-through mode. The unusual
cacheable ranges stem from the fact that the the top Tag address
value (11111111, which would normally map an area
the size of the L2 cache into RAM) is used as an invalid bit
(there is no separate invalid bit within the chipset). Since
this Tag address is lost, this area at the top of addressable
RAM cannot be cached. So basically you figure out the cacheable
RAM size according to the L2 size and 8-bit TagRAM and then
subtract out the amount of L2 cache from the total cacheable
area to get the actual cacheable amount. This also applies
to write-back mode, but because one Tag bit is used as a dirty
(modified) bit, the amount of cacheable RAM is half that of
write-through, and then the L2 cache size is subtracted out
to get the final cacheable range. See, this stuff is easy.

The VIA Apollo Pro133
and Pro133A chipsets may come with either the 596B or 686A
southbridge.
-
While 8 memory banks
(2GB max) are technically supported on the VIA Pro133, it
is recommended that only 6 banks (1.5GB max) be used.
-
When using PC133 SDRAM
on the VIA Pro133A chipset, only 6 banks may be used. All
8 may be used with PC100 SDRAM.
-
The VIA ProMedia with
integrated Trident AGP was renamed to PM601 and was then renamed
again to PLE133. And the PM-133 (with S3 AGP) used to be called
the ProMedia-II.
-
The VIA PM-133 chipset
allows an AGP slot in addition to the integrated graphics;
the PL-133 does not have the AGP slot.
-
I'm not exactly sure
what the differences between the VIA P4X-266A and P4X-266E
are.
-
The VIA PT-600 and PT-800
were originally named the P4X-600 and P4X-800.
-
The VIA KX-133 does
not support the Thunderbird or later Athlons because of different
bus signal types.
-
The VIA KZ-133 chipset
was renamed to KT-133.
-
The VIA KT-133E chipset
supports the PowerNow! Features of the mobile Athlon/Duron
CPUs, though it can still be found in desktop systems.
-
The VIA KM-133 chipset
allows an AGP slot in addition to the integrated graphics;
the KL-133 does not have the AGP slot.
-
The VIA KT-266A comes
with memory performance enhancements over that of the KT-266.
-
The VIA KT-333 may be
paired with the VT8233 or (on some boards) the VT8235.
-
The VIA KT-400A may
be paired with the VT8235 or the VT8237.
-
The VIA Apollo Pro-266T,
P4X-266, and P4X-266A all may come with the optional PCI-66/64
VPX controller.
-
While many Athlon-compatible
VIA chipsets may claim support for ECC memory, they may not
actually utilize the ECC functionality beyond the booting
stage.
-
The VIA K8T-400M used
to be known as the K8HTB.

"PC150" and "PC2400" are not
recognized specifications; they're just overclocked PC133 SDRAM
and PC2100 DDR.
QDR SDRAM is not a different
type of memory. It is standard DDR SDRAM that is utilized by the
chipset as a double-sided memory stick where each DIMM bank (side)
can be accessed almost simultaneously. This obviously will only
work with double-sided DIMMs and requires a specially designed
DIMM to deal with the signalling.
When used with a 133MHz FSB
(front side bus) PC600 Rambus only operates at 266MHz base clock.
When used with a 100MHz FSB PC700 only runs at 300MHz base clock.
PC800 can operate at 400MHz regardless of the speed (100 or 133MHz)
of the FSB. PC700 is only supported on the i820 chipset.
Rambus 32-bit RIMMs are effectively
32-bits wide, but in reality two 16-bit wide channels are contained
on one module, so the chipset still sees it as dual channel. The
same is true for 64-bit modules; they use four 16-bit channels
on a single module.
The following table presents
a *generalized* view of what the L2 cacheability range
is for various direct-mapped L2 and Tag bit configurations. The
table reflects the assumption that the dirty bit that is needed
in write-back mode must come from the TagRAM bits, and is not
a separate bit within the chipset itself. Not all chipsets necessarily
follow this assumption. And if the chipset does have a separate
dirty bit, then the amount of memory that can be cached in write-back
mode is the same as write-through.

In write-through mode the
amount of memory that can be cached (addressed) by the L2 cache
SRAM is dependent on the amount of L2 cache and the width of the
TagRAM. For direct-mapped caches, the size of the L2 cache is
one cache page. The Tag bits define the number of memory addresses
the cache-size pages can be mapped to. So if you have 512KB of
L2 cache and a 7-bit Tag width, the cache page is 512KB and the
number of unique addresses that can be defined by the Tag is 128
{27 = 128}. This translates into 64MB cacheable in
write-through mode {512KB * 128}. An 8-bit Tag can define 256
addresses, and so with 512KB can cache 128MB of RAM. Every additional
Tag bit that is added effectively doubles the amount of cacheable
memory.
In write-back mode, you must
use one of the Tag bits as a modified (dirty) bit, so the amount
of addressable memory is reduced by half. That same 512KB of cache
with the 8 bits of TagRAM (actually 7 Tag bits and 1 dirty bit)
can only address 64 megabytes of main memory in write-back mode
{512KB * 27 = 64MB}, half that of write-through mode.
This does *not* apply
to the 2-way, 4-way, or 8-way set associative caches found on
various 6th generation processors; only to direct-mapped
cache. For direct-mapped caches, the Tag addresses map an entire
cache page to memory; for set-associative, the Tags map cache
sets (two, four, or eight cache lines, depending on the associativity).
Note that the math here is
just quick and dirty. For a much better explanation of how this
works, see The PC Guide, Caches and Their Design, and
section 2.27 of the CSIPHC FAQ.
The following table is a list
of the L2 cacheable ranges for various 6th generation
processors that have L2 cache built onto the chip, die, or substrate.
All cacheability issues are handled by an on-Chip TagRAM; the
motherboard's chipset does not deal with the cacheable range for
this L2 at all. All caches are in write-back mode (a separate
pair of MESI bits is used to determine the cache state: Modified,
Exclusive, Shared, or Invalid).

Notes:
- The listed stepping only refers to
the core CPU stepping ID. On the Pentium II, Pentium III,
and Xeon CPUs that have discrete, external cache chips (not
the Coppermine and Cascades chips), it isn't the core chip
that determines cacheability. Instead, an additional cache
controller chip (containing the TagRAM and MESI bits) mounted
to the SEC substrate dictates actual cacheable range. It just
so happens that certain steppings of certain CPUs are only
paired with select cache controllers. For example: On the
Pentium II, the 82459AB and 82459AC cache controller chips
can cache up to 512MB of RAM. And the 82459AD controller chip
can cache up to 4GB of memory. The older Pentium II Klamath
chips come with the 82459AB controller and the initial Deschutes
chips (6-5-0 step) come with the 82459AC cache controller,
and therefore can only cache up to 512MB.
- The P-Pro has two (or three for the
1MB P-Pro 200) chips in its dual cavity CPU design. One chip
is the core die; the other is the cache die. The cache controller
and TagRAM bits on the Pentium Pro are built onto the cache
chip's die.
- The Celeron, Pentium-III Coppermine,
Xeon Cascades, Pentium Pro OverDrive, and K6-3 have the L2
cache (along with it's controller and TagRAM bits) built on-Die.
- The Cumine PGA is the Pentium III
Coppermine in the FC-PGA package. The Cumine-128 is the Celeron
Coppermine-128. Despite their name, the Coppermine chips use
aluminum interconnects, not copper.
- The K7 (Athlon) is an unusual beast
in that its primary TagRAM bits are included on the core CPU
die itself (even though the L2 is off-Die). This on-Die Tag
can utilize 512KB of external L2 cache on the SEC and can
cache up to 64GB of RAM (the model 1 Athlon supports PAE-36
memory extensions; the model 2 Athlon supports both PAE-36
and PSE-36). But if there is more than 512KB of external L2
present, then the internal Tag can only provide partial coverage
and an external cache controller must provide some of its
own Tag bits. The L2 on the K7 is 2-way set associative for
512KB, 1MB, and 2MB cache sizes. For 4MB, 8MB, and 16MB cache
sizes, the L2 operates as direct mapped cache.
- The K7 has a 64-byte (512-bit) cache
line size; the Intel P6/P-II/Celeron chips have 32-byte cache
lines. The K6 also has 64-byte cache lines, but it's broken
down into two 32-byte sectors. The P-4 has 128-byte cache
lines broken down into two 64-byte sectors.
- On the AMD K6 and early K6-2's (5-8-0
step, 26050), the write-allocate function cannot be used on
memory addresses above 508MB. The later K6-2 CXT (5-8-C step,
26351) and K6-III chips do not suffer from this limit with
write-allocate. AFAIK, this doesn't affect the chip's cacheable
range for its L1 cache.
- Even though the Pentium III Coppermine
and Pentium III Xeon Cascades chips both use the same core
die, Intel says the Coppermine's L2 only caches up to 4GB
of RAM. The Xeon version can cache up to 64GB.
- Intel originally stated that the L2
cache on the Pentium II OverDrive for Socket 8 systems could
cache up to 64GB of memory. The datasheet now says it caches
only 4GB; I'm not sure which is correct.
- Even though many of the chips listed
above have 64GB as their cacheable range, anything over 4GB
is rather uncommon with x86 architectures. To even address
more than 4GB, you need to use an extended memory
architecture (PAE-36 or PSE-36). Cacheable ranges above
4GB are technically possible, but are not commonly used. BTW,
the AMD K7 also has a 43-bit (8TB) memory mode, but this is
an Alpha addressing mode, not x86. Presumably the K7 has enough
Tag bits to fully cache this memory space as well.
- In every case that I'm aware of, the
processor's L1 cache can cache the full amount of memory that
is addressable by the CPU.
