Identifying the Processor at the Socket

For the platform to configure for the requirements of the processor in the socket, it must first
identify whether the processor is a Pentium III processor (CPUID=068xh) / Celeron processor
(CPUID=068xh), or a future 0.13 micron socket 370 processors. Pin AF36 is a ground pin on a
Pentium III processor (CPUID=068xh) and Celeron processor (CPUID=068xh); pin AF36 is an
unconnected pin on future 0.13 micron Socket 370 processors. Referring to Figure 8, the platform
uses a detect circuit connected to this processor pin. If a future 0.13 micron Socket 370 processor
is present in the socket, the TUAL5 reference schematic signal will be pulled to the 5V rail and the
TUAL5# reference schematic signal will be pulled to ground. Otherwise, for a Pentium III
processor (CPUID=068xh) or Celeron processor (CPUID=068xh), the TUAL5 reference
schematic signal will be pulled to ground and the TUAL5# will be pulled to the 5V rail.
