  2. I/O Controller Hub - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I/O_Controller_Hub

    I/O Controller Hub (ICH) is a family of Intel southbridge microchips used to manage data communications between a CPU and a motherboard, specifically Intel chipsets based on the Intel Hub Architecture. It is designed to be paired with a second support chip known as a northbridge. As with any other southbridge, the ICH is used to connect and ...

  3. Platform Controller Hub - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_Controller_Hub

    Through OEMs, Intel plans to repair or replace all affected products at a cost of $700 million. [14] [15] Nearly all produced motherboards using Cougar Point chipsets were designed to handle Sandy Bridge, and later Ivy Bridge, processors. ASRock produced one motherboard for LGA 1156 processors, based

  4. Southbridge (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southbridge_(computing)

    On Intel platforms, all southbridge features and remaining I/O functions are managed by the PCH, which is directly connected to the CPU via the Direct Media Interface (DMI). [6] Intel low-power processors (Haswell-U and onward) and ultra low-power processors (Haswell-Y and onward) also integrate an on-package PCH.

  5. CPU socket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_socket

    CPU sockets are used on the motherboard in desktop and server computers. Because they allow easy swapping of components, they are also used for prototyping new circuits. Laptops typically use surface-mount CPUs, which take up less space on the motherboard than a socketed part.

  6. Northbridge (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northbridge_(computing)

    Intel's Sandy Bridge processors feature full integration of northbridge functions onto the CPU chip, along with processor cores, memory controller, high speed PCI Express interface and integrated graphics processing unit (GPU). This was a further evolution of the Westmere architecture, which also featured a CPU and GPU in the same package. [11]

  7. List of Intel chipsets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets

    Intel i945GC northbridge with Pentium Dual-Core microprocessor. This article provides a list of motherboard chipsets made by Intel, divided into three main categories: those that use the PCI bus for interconnection (the 4xx series), those that connect using specialized "hub links" (the 8xx series), and those that connect using PCI Express (the 9xx series).

  8. Intel QuickPath Interconnect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_QuickPath_Interconnect

    The QPI is an element of a system architecture that Intel calls the QuickPath architecture that implements what Intel calls QuickPath technology. [12] In its simplest form on a single-processor motherboard, a single QPI is used to connect the processor to the IO Hub (e.g., to connect an Intel Core i7 to an X58). In more complex instances of the ...

  9. BTX (form factor) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BTX_(form_factor)

    BTX form factor motherboard inside a Dell Dimension E520. Pico BTX is a motherboard form factor that is meant to miniaturize the 12.8 × 10.5 in (325 × 267 mm) BTX standard. Pico BTX motherboards measure 8 × 10.5 in (203 × 267 mm). This is smaller than many current "micro"-sized motherboards, hence the name "pico". These motherboards share a ...
