NOTES:
1. Time is measured from 0.4V on rising edge of the first D-VID code to the convergent Vcc voltage value
after the final D-VID code is transmitted.
2. Consult Table 4 for definition of VR TDC
2.9 Processor Vcc Overshoot (REQUIRED)
2.9.1 Specification Overview
Intel desktop processors in socket 478 are capable of tolerating short transient overshoot events
above VID on the Vcc supply that will not impact processor lifespan or reliability. Maximum
processor Vcc overshoot, V
