APIC Clock Voltage Switching Requirements

The processor’s APIC clock is also specified at different voltage levels depending on whether it is
for the Pentium III processor (CPUID=068xh) / Celeron processor (CPUID=068xh) or whether it
is for a future 0.13 micron socket 370 processor. There is no overlap in the range of accepted
voltage levels for the two processor groups, so a voltage switch is required to ensure proper
operation. Figure 15 shows an example implementation.
