MEMORY CACHE CONTROL

For the P6 family processors, the prefix for the fixed range MTRRs is MTRRfix.

10.11.2.3

Variable Range MTRRs

The Pentium 4, Intel Xeon, and P6 family processors permit software to specify the memory
type for eight variable-size address ranges, using a pair of MTRRs for each range. The first entry
in each pair (IA32_MTRR_PHYSBASEn) defines the base address and memory type for the
range; the second entry (IA32_MTRR_PHYSMASKn) contains a mask used to determine the
address range. The “n” suffix indicates register pairs 0 through 7.

For P6 family processors, the prefixes for these variable range MTRRs are MTRRphysBase and
MTRRphysMask.

Figure 10-6 shows flags and fields in these registers. The functions of these flags and fields are:

Type field, bits 0 through 7 — Specifies the memory type for the range (see Table 10-8
for the encoding of this field).
