Notes: Intel^® Pentium^® Silver and Intel^® Celeron^® Processor supports dynamic gearing technology where the Memory Controller can run at 1:2 (Gear-2 mode)ratio of DRAM speed. Gear ratio is the ratio of DRAM speed to Memory Controller Clock. MC Channel Width equal to DDR Channel width multiply by Gear Ratio. SA-GV modes: Low- Low frequency point, Min Power point. Characterized by low power, low BW, high latency. System will stay at this point during low to moderate BW consumption. Mid - Max Bandwidths Point, this point is the max possible BW point, the DRAM freq limited by Silicon Configuration/BIOS/SPD. Characterized by moderate power and latency, high BW. This point intended for high GT and moderate-high IA BW High - High Point, the minimum memory latency point, Characterized by high power, low latency, moderate BW. Only during IA performance workloads the system will to switch to this point and only in case this point can provide enough BW.
