Chipset

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

 

A chipset is a set of electronic components in an integrated circuit that manages the data flow between the processor, memory and peripherals. It is usually found in the motherboard of a computer. Chipsets are usually designed to work with a specific family of microprocessors. Because it controls communications between the processor and external devices, the chipset plays a crucial role in determining system performance.

Computers[edit]

In computing, the term chipset is commonly used to refer to a set of specialized chips on a computer's motherboard or an expansion card. In personal computers, the first chipset for theIBM PC AT was the NEAT chipset by Chips and Technologies for the Intel 80286 CPU.

A part of an IBM T42 laptop motherboard. CPU: Central processing unit. NB: Northbridge. GPU: Graphics processing unit. SB: Southbridge.

In home computers, game consoles and arcade game hardware of the 1980s and 1990s, the term chipset was used for the custom audio and graphics chips. Examples include the Commodore Amiga's Original Chip Set or SEGA's System 16 chipset.

Based on Intel Pentium-class microprocessors, the term chipset often refers to a specific pair of chips on the motherboard: the northbridge and the southbridge. The northbridge links the CPU to very high-speed devices, especially RAM and graphics controllers, and the southbridge connects to lower-speed peripheral buses (such as PCIor ISA). In many modern chipsets, the southbridge contains some on-chip integrated peripherals, such as Ethernet, USB, and audio devices.

The manufacturer of a chipset often is independent from the manufacturer of the motherboard. Current manufacturers of chipsets for x86 motherboards include AMD,Broadcom, Intel, NVIDIA, SiS and VIA Technologies. Apple computers and Unixworkstations have traditionally used custom-designed chipsets. Some server manufacturers also develop custom chipsets for their products.

In the 1980s, Chips and Technologies pioneered the manufacturing of chipsets for PC-compatible computers. Computer systems produced since then often share commonly used chipsets, even across widely disparate computing specialties. For example, the NCR 53C9x, a low-cost chipset implementing a SCSI interface to storage devices, could be found in Unix machines such as the MIPS Magnum, embedded devices, and personal computers.

Move toward processor integration in PCs[edit]

Traditionally in x86 computers, the processor's primary connection to the rest of the machine is through the motherboard chipset's northbridge. The northbridge is directly responsible for communications with high-speed devices (System memory, and primary expansion buses such as PCIe, AGP, PCI cards being common examples) and conversely any system communication back to the processor. This connection between the processor and northbridge is traditionally known as the front side bus (FSB). Requests to resources not directly controlled by the northbridge are offloaded to the southbridge - with the northbridge being an intermediary between the processor and the southbridge. The southbridge traditionally handles "everything else," generally lower speed peripherals and board functions (the largest being hard disk and storage connectivity) such as USB, parallel and serial communications. The connection between the northbridge and southbridge does not have a common name, but is usually a high speed interconnect proprietary to the chipset vendor. Thus any interaction between a CPU and main memory, any expansion device such as a graphics card(s), whether AGP, PCI or integrated into the motherboard, was directly controlled by the northbridge IC on behalf of the processor. This made processor performance highly dependent on the system chipset - especially the northbridge's memory performance and ability to shuttle this information back to the processor.

However in 2003 AMD's introduction the Athlon 64-bit series of processors^[1] changed this. The Athlon64 marked the introduction of an integrated memory controller being incorporated into the processor itself allowing the processor to directly access and handle memory, negating the need for a traditional northbridge to do so. Intel followed suit in 2008 with the release of its Core i series CPUs and the X58 platform." In newer processors integration has further increased, primarily inclusion of the system's primary PCIe controller and integrated graphics directly on the CPU itself. As fewer functions are left un-handled by the processor itself, chipset venders have condensed the remaining north and southbridge functions into a single chip. Intel's version of this is the "Platform Controller Hub" (PCH), effectively an enhanced southbridge for the remaining peripherals, as traditional northbridge duties such as memory controller, expansion bus (PCIe) interface, and even on-board video controller are integrated into the CPU itself.

List of Intel chipsets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  (Redirected from  Intel chipsets)

 

This is a list of motherboard chipsets made by Intel. It is 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). The chipsets are listed in chronological order.

  • two distinct versions 845 MCH for SDR and 845 MCH for DDR^[23][24]
• 875P (Canterwood)
  • Similar to E7205, but adds support for 800 MHz bus, DDR at 400 MHz, Communication Streaming Architecture (CSA), Serial ATA (with RAID in certain configurations) and Performance Acceleration Technology (PAT), a mode purported to cut down memory latency.
  • SMP capability exists only on Xeon-based (socket 604) motherboards using the 875P chipset. FSB is rated at 533 MHz on these motherboards.
• 865PE (Springdale)
  • 875P without PAT, though it was possible to enable PAT in some early revisions. Also lacks ECC Memory support.
  • Sub-versions:
    • 865P - The same as 865PE, but supports only 400/533 MHz bus and 333 MHz memory.
    • 848P - Single memory channel version of 865PE.
• 865G (Springdale-G)
  • 865PE with integrated graphics (Intel Extreme Graphics 2). PAT never supported in any revisions.
  • Sub-versions:
    • 865GV - 865G without external AGP slot.

Summary:

• 915P (Grantsdale)
  • Supports Pentium 4 on an 800 MHz bus. Uses DDR memory up to 400 MHz, or DDR2 at 533 MHz. Replaces AGP and CSA with PCI Express, and also supports "Matrix RAID", a RAID mode designed to allow the usage of RAID levels 0 and 1 simultaneously with two hard drives. (Normally RAID1+0 would have required four hard drives)
  • Sub-versions:
    • 915PL - Cut-down version of 915P with no support for DDR2 and only supporting 2 GB of memory.
• 915G (Grantsdale-G)
  • 915P with an integrated GMA 900. This core contains Pixel Shader version 2.0 only, it does not contain Vertex Shaders nor does it feature Transform & Lighting (T&L) capabilities and therefore is not Direct X 8.1 or 9.0 complaint.
  • Sub-versions:
    • 915GL - Same feature reductions as 915PL, but supports 4 GB of memory. No support for external graphics cards.
    • 915GV - Same as 915G, but has no way of adding an external graphics card.
    • 910GL - No support for external graphics cards or 800 MHz bus.
• 925X (Alderwood)
  • Higher end version of 915. Supports another PAT-like mode and ECC memory, and exclusively uses DDR-II RAM.
  • Sub-versions:
    • 925XE - Supports a 1066 MHz bus.
• 945P (Lakeport)
  • Update on 915P, with support for Serial ATA II, RAID mode 5, an improved memory controller with support for DDR-II at 667 MHz and additional PCI Express lanes. Support for DDR-I is dropped. Formal dual-core support was added to this chipset.
  • Sub-versions:
    • 945PL - No support for 1066 MHz bus, only supports 2 GB of memory.
• 945G (Lakeport-G)
  • A version of the 945P that has a GMA 950 integrated, supports a 1066 MHz bus.
  • Sub-versions:
    • 945GZ - Same feature reductions as 945PL but with an integrated . No support for external graphics cards.
• 955X (Lakeport)
  • Update for 925X, with additional features of "Lakeport" (e.g., PAT features and ECC memory), and uses DDR2.

^[1] 975X chipset only supports 16x PCIe (electrical) in the top slot when the slot below it is unpopulated. Otherwise it and the lower slot (both attached to the Memory Controller Hub) operate at 8x electrical.

^[2] Officially 975X supports a maximum of 1066FSB. Unofficially third party motherboards (Asus, Gigabyte) support certain 1333FSB 45 nm Core2 processors, usually with later BIOS updates.

^[3] The 975X chipset technical specification shows only 533/667 memory support. Actual implementations of 975X do support DDR2 800.

^[4] VT-d is inherently supported on these chipsets, but may not be enabled by individual OEMs. Always read the motherboard manual and check for BIOS updates. X38/X48 VT-d support is limited to certain Intel, Supermicro, DFI (LanParty) and Tyan boards. VT-d is broken or non existent on some boards until the BIOS is updated. Note that VT-d is a chipset Memory Controller Hub technology, not a processor feature, but this is complicated by later processor generations (i series) moving the MCH from the motherboard to the processor package, making only certain i series CPUs support VT-d.

5/6/7/8 Series chipsets[edit]

Main article: Intel 5 Series

See also: Sandy Bridge chipsets (6 Series), Ivy Bridge chipsets (7 Series), and Haswell chipsets (8 Series)

The Nehalem microarchitecture, moves the memory controller on to the processor. For high-end Nehalem processors, the X58 IOH acts as a bridge from the QPI to PCI Express peripherals and DMI to the ICH10 southbridge. For mainstream and lower-end Nehalem processors, the integrated memory controller (IMC) is an entire northbridge (some even having GPUs), and the PCH (Platform Controller Hub) acts as a southbridge.

Not listed below is the 3450 chipset (see Xeon chipsets) which is compatible with Nehalem mainstream and high-end processors but does not claim core iX-compatibility. With either a Core i5 or i3 processor, the 3400-series chipsets enable the ECC functionality of unbuffered ECC memory.^[41] Otherwise these chipsets do not enable unbuffered ECC functionality.

The Cougar Point Intel 6 series chipsets with step B2 were recalled due to a hardware bug that causes their 3 Gbit/s Serial ATA to degrade over time until they become unusable. Step B3 of the Intel 6 series chipsets will have the fix for this. The Z68 chipset which supports CPU overclocking and use of the integrated graphics does not have this hardware bug.^[42] The Z68 also added support for transparently caching hard disk data on to solid-state drives (up to 64GB), a technology called Smart Response Technology.^[43]

Notes[edit]

Note 1: The Pentium Pro, Pentium II/III, and the Celerons based on them are essentially the same design with minor internal revisions and varying cache designs. Because of this, the same chipset can be used for Socket 8, Socket 370, Slot 1, or Slot 2 designs with any CPU in the P6 family. In practice however, newer chipset designs are usually only made for the newer processor packages, and older ones may not be updated to accommodate for recent package designs. In addition, certain chipsets may be implemented in motherboards with different processor packages, much like how the 440FX could be used either with a Pentium Pro (Socket 8) or Pentium II (Slot 1). A new feature for the latest Intel chipsets is hardware virtualization support (Intel VT-d).^[68] The chipset support for this technology is not very clear for the moment.^[69]

Note 2: The Intel 82943GML mobile chipset unofficially supports Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, and Pentium Dual Core processors as well as 667 MHz FSB, which is a popular upgrade for many older notebook computers such as certain models of Acer Aspire 3680.

Intel 5 Series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

 

Intel 5 Series is a computing architecture introduced in 2008 that improves the efficiency and balances the use of communication channels in the motherboard. The architecture consists primarily of a central processing unit (CPU) (connected to the graphics card and memory) and a single chipset (connected to motherboard components). All motherboard communications and activities circle around these two devices.

The architecture is a product of adjustments made to the Intel 4 Series to deliver higher performance motherboards while maintaining efficiency and low power. The changes revolve around chipset and processor design, in conjunction with a rearrangement of functions and controllers. The result is the first major change in many years of computing.

Design concept[edit]

Intel 4 Series Motherboard Design

The concept of the architecture was to improve motherboard mechanics to keep pace with the CPU as it gained more speed and multiplied in number of cores. In the previous architecture, the CPU was communicating heavily with the motherboard's central component, the Northbridge chipset, as it was the intermediary between the CPU, memory, and, in most cases, graphics card. The CPU would communicate with the Northbridge chipset when it needed data from the memory or when it needed to output graphics to the display. This arrangement caused the communication channel known as the front-side bus (FSB) to be heavily used. It was not long till either the FSB would reach full capacity or operate inefficiently with more cores. With the memory controller and/or graphics core moved into the processor, the reliance of separate motherboard chipsets for these functions are reduced.

Ibex Peak^[1][2][edit]

Intel 5 Series (Ibex Peak) Motherboard Solution

The Ibex Peak chipset includes only Platform Controller Hub (PCH) per model, which provides peripheral connections, and display controllers for CPU with integrated graphics via Flexible Display Interface (excluding P-models). Additionally, the PCH is connected to the CPU via Direct Media Interface (DMI).

Taking advantage of Intel Nehalem CPUs with integrated graphics and PCI Express ports, the Intel management engine (ME) and a display controller for integrated graphics, once housed in north bridge, are moved into the Platform Controller Hub (PCH). The I/O Controller Hub (ICH) function is integrated into the PCH, removing the need for separate north bridge and south bridge.

Tylersburg[edit]

Unlike the Ibex Peak chipsets, The Tylersburg family of chipsets do not include PCH, and the I/O Hub mainly provides extra PCI Express 2.0 ports. Peripheral connections are provided by I/O Controller Hub (ICH) connected to DMI interface. Intel 5 series IOH support ICH10, while Intel 5500 Series IOH support ICH9 or ICH10.

LGA 1366, also known as Socket B,^[2][3] is an Intel CPU socket. This socket supersedes Intel's LGA 775 (Socket T) in the high-end and performance desktop segments. It also replaces the server-oriented LGA 771 (Socket J) in the entry level and is superseded itself by LGA 2011. LGA stands for land grid array. This socket has 1,366 protruding pins which touch contact points on the underside of the processor (CPU)^[4] and accesses up to three channels of DDR3 memory via the processor's internal memory controller.

Socket 1366 (Socket B) uses QPI to connect the CPU to a reduced-function northbridge that serves mainly as a PCI-Express controller. A slower DMI is used to connect Intel's most recent northbridge and southbridge components. By comparison, Intel's socket 1156 (Socket H) moves the QPI link and PCI-Express controller onto the processor itself, using DMI to interface a single-component "chipset" (now called PCH) that serves traditional southbridge functions. The difference in pin number is mostly a reflection of the number of memory channels served.

In November 2008, Intel released Core i7, which was the first processor requiring this socket.

LGA 1366 socket and processors were discontinued sometime in 2012,^[5] and superseded by the LGA 2011 socket, on November 14, 2011, supporting Sandy Bridge E-series processors. LGA 1156 was discontinued at the same time.

Socket B mechanical load limits[edit]

Socket B processors have the following mechanical maximum load limits which should not be exceeded during heatsink assembly, shipping conditions, or standard use. Load above those limits will crack the processor die and make it unusable.

Location	Dynamic	Static
IHS Surface	890 N (200 lbf) (90 kp)	266 N (60 lbf) (27 kp)

Processors using this socket have a lower static load limit than previous models using LGA 775.

Supported chipsets[edit]

The desktop chipset that supports LGA 1366 is Intel's X58.

LGA 2011, also called Socket R, is a CPU socket by Intel. It replaces Intel's LGA 1366 (Socket B) and LGA 1567 in the performance and high-end desktop and server platforms.^[1] The socket has 2011 protruding pins which touch contact points on the underside of the processor.

Socket R uses QPI to connect the CPU to additional CPUs. DMI 2.0 is used to connect the processor to the PCH. The memory controller and 40 PCIe lanes are integrated on the CPU. On a secondary processor an extra ×4 PCIe interface replaces the DMI interface. As with its predecessor LGA 1366 there is no provision for integrated graphics.

The socket was released on 14 November 2011^[2], and supports 4 DDR3 SDRAM memory channels with 1 unbuffered DIMM per channel, as well as 40× PCIe 2.0 or 3.0 lanes.^[3] LGA 2011 also has to ensure platform scalability beyond eight cores and 20 MB of cache.^[4]

LGA 2011 is compatible with Sandy Bridge-E, Ivy Bridge (microarchitecture), and Xeon processors, subject to motherboard manufacturers adding support for the new CPUs on their LGA 2011 motherboards;^[5] however Intel has confirmed that it will not be updating its own range of X79 motherboards which therefore will not be compatible with Ivy Bridge-E processors.^[6]

LGA 1156, also known as Socket H^[2][3] or H1, is an Intel desktop CPU socket. LGA stands for land grid array. Its incompatible successor is LGA 1155.

LGA 1156, along with LGA 1366, were designed to replace LGA 775. Whereas LGA 775 processors connect to anorthbridge using the Front Side Bus, LGA 1156 processors integrate the features traditionally located on a northbridge on the processor itself. The LGA 1156 socket allows the following connections to be made from the processor to the rest of the system:

• PCI-Express 2.0 ×16 for communication with a graphics card. Some processors allow this connection to be divided into two ×8 lanes to connect two graphics cards. Some motherboard manufacturers use Nvidia's NF200 chip to allow even more graphics cards to be used.
• DMI for communication with the Platform Controller Hub (PCH). This consists of a PCI-Express 2.0 ×4 connection.
• FDI for communication with the PCH. This consists of two DisplayPort connections.
• Two memory channels for communication with DDR3 SDRAM. The clock speed of the memory that is supported will depend on the processor.

LGA 1156 socket and processors were discontinued sometime in 2012,^[4] and superseded by the LGA 1155 socket. LGA 1366 was discontinued at the same time.

All LGA 1156 processors and motherboards made to date are interoperable, making it possible to switch between a Celeron, Pentium, Core i3 or Core i5 with integrated graphics and a Core i5 or Core i7 without graphics. However, using a chip with integrated graphics on a P55 motherboard will (in addition to likely requiring a BIOS update) not allow use of the on-board graphics processor, and likewise, using a chip without integrated graphics on a H55, H57 or Q57 motherboard will not allow use of the motherboard's graphics ports.^[5]

Supported chipsets[edit]

The Desktop chipsets that support LGA 1156 are Intel's H55, H57, P55, and Q57. Server chipsets supporting the socket are Intel's 3400, 3420 and 3450.

View of the socket LGA 1155 on an Intel Core i7 Sandy Bridge 2600K model CPU

LGA 1155, also called Socket H2, is an Intel microprocessor compatible socket which supports Intel Sandy Bridgeand Ivy Bridge microprocessors.

It's incompatible high-performance counterpart for Intel desktops and servers is the LGA 2011.

LGA 1155 is designed as a replacement for the LGA 1156 (known as Socket H). LGA 1155 has 1155 protruding pins to make contact with the pads on the processor. Processors of LGA 1155 and LGA 1156 sockets are not compatible with each other since they have different socket notches. However, cooling systems are compatible between both LGA 1155 and LGA 1156 sockets, as the processor has the same dimensions, profile and construction, and similar heat production.^[2]

Integrated USB 3.0 support is present in the Z75, Z77, H77, Q75, Q77 and B75 chipsets intended for Ivy Bridge CPUs. Refer to list of Intel chipsets for the complete list of socket 1155 chipsets.

LGA 1150 has succeeded LGA 1155.

Sandy Bridge chipsets, except Q65, Q67 and B65, support both Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge CPUs through a BIOS upgrade.^[3] Sandy Bridge based processors officially support up to DDR3-1333 memory, however in practice speeds up to DDR3-2133 have been tested to work successfully.^[4]

The H61 chipset only supports one double-sided DIMM per memory-channel and therefore is limited to 16 GB instead of the 32 GB like the others support.^[5] On motherboards with four DIMM slots, only four single-sided DIMMs can be installed.^[6]

Intel Xeon chipsets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

 

Around the time that the Pentium 3 processor was introduced, Intel's Xeon line diverged from its line of desktop processors, which at the time was using the Pentium branding.

The divergence was implemented by using different sockets; since then, the sockets for Xeon chips have tended to remain constant across several generations of implementation.

The chipsets contain a 'memory controller hub' and an 'I/O controller hub', which tend to be called 'north bridge' and 'south bridge' respectively. The memory controller hub connects to the processors, memory, high-speed I/O such as PCI Express, and to the I/O controller hub by a proprietary link. The I/O controller hub on the other hand, connects to lower-speed I/O, such as hard discs, PCI slots, USB and Ethernet.

P6-based Xeon chipsets[edit]

Dual processor P6-based Xeon chipsets[edit]

Intel's initial preferred chipset for Pentium III Xeon was the 840.

Product name	Codename	Processor FSB supported	Memory type supported	High-speed interfaces provided	Preferred IOCH
440GX AGPset	Marlinespike	100	One 72-bit-wide channel of SDRAM, with ECC; up to four DIMMs		PIIX4E
840	Carmel	100 or 133	Two channels RDRAM, two RIMMs per channel

Four processor P6-based Xeon chipsets[edit]

The Pentium III Xeon bus protocol allowed four processors on the same bus, so the 440GX AGPset could be used in four-CPU systems; the limit of 2GB of main memory remained. These support Slot 2.

There was also the 450NX PCIset, which consisted of several chips: a single 82451NX Memory and IO Bridge Controller roughly analogous to the North Bridge, up to two 82454NX PCI Expander Bridges which converted the protocol used by 451NX to two 32-bit PCI33 or one 64-bit PCI33 bus, along with up to two memory cards each equipped with one 82452NX RAS/CAS Generator chip and two 82453NX Data Path Multiplexer chips. It supported PIIX3 and PIIX4E south bridges, and EDO DRAM.

Eight processor P6-based Xeon chipset[edit]

In August 1999 Intel began shipping the Profusion PCIset.^[1] The chipset was based on technology developed by Corollary.^[2] It supported up to 8 Pentium III Xeon processors on two busses and maintained cache coherency between them.^[3][4][5]

NetBurst-based Xeon chipsets[edit]

Dual processor NetBurst-based Xeon chipsets[edit]

E7500 corresponded to the first Northwood-based Pentium4 Xeons, E7501 is essentially identical but supports faster FSB and memory. The E7320, E7520 and E7525 chipsets correspond to Prescott-based Pentium4 Xeons, and differ mainly in their PCI Express support. These support Socket 604.

E7501	Plumas	533 MHz	Two channels of ECC DDR SDRAM at 133 MHz (4.2GB/s peak)	Three ECC 1GB/s (66 MHz ×8, 16-bit) 'Hub Interface' channels, which connect to 82870P2 chips to provide two 64-bit 66 MHz PCI or PCI-X buses each, plus one ECC 533MB/s (66 MHz ×4) connector for ICH3-S	ICH3-S
E7505	Placer[7]	533 MHz	Two channels of ECC DDR SDRAM at 133 MHz (4.2GB/s peak)	AGP 8× port, three ECC 1GB/s (66 MHz ×8, 16-bit) 'Hub Interface' channels, which connect to 82870P2 chips to provide two 64-bit 66 MHz PCI or PCI-X buses each, plus one ECC 533MB/s (66 MHz ×4) connector for ICH4	ICH4

Dual processor Nehalem-based Xeon chipsets[edit]

The Nehalem-based Xeons for dual-socket systems, initially launched as the Xeon 55xx series, feature a very different system structure: the memory controllers are on the CPU, and the CPUs can communicate with one another as peers without going via the chipset. This means that the 5500 and 5520 chipsets are essentiallyQPI to PCI Express interfaces; the 5520 is more intended for graphical workstations and the 5500 for servers that do not need vast amounts of PCI Express connectivity
