Topic: Chipset



  
 Chipset - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, the term chipset is commonly used to refer to the specialized motherboard chips on a computer or expansion card.
The term "chipset" was also widely used in the 1980s and 1990s for the custom audio and graphics chips in home computers, games consoles and arcade game hardware of the time.
Examples of PC motherboard chipsets include NVIDIA's nForce chipset and VIA Technologies' KT800, both for AMD processors, or one of Intel's many chipsets (see, for example, [1]).

 The PC Technology Guide
A chipset or "PCIset" is a group of microcircuits that orchestrate the flow of data to and from key components of a PC.
Interestingly, it was not Intel but rival chipmakers that made the first move, pushing Socket 7 chipsets to 100MHz.
Although there have always been other chipset manufacturers - such as SIS, VIA and Opti - for many years Intel's "Triton" chipsets were by far the most popular.

Representing Intel's 820 chipset is the Aopen AX6C motherboard.
For the Intel P6 platform, we have the old mainstay BX chipset represented by the Abit BE6-II motherboard.
While the scores remained close, the Intel BX and AMD 750 chipset were arguably the top two performers overall.

 What does your Chipset actually do?
The function of a chipset is to manage data throughput.
Since we now know that the chipset handles an incredible amount of data, its important to see which chipsets are performing the best.
If you have a poor performing chipset, then any time that your computer is sending and receiving data from the graphics card or main memory, then the system is struggling

 Chipset
The chips in the chipset are referred to as bridges, because they bridge the components together and ensure that the data flow is directed to the proper place.
Both chips share in the task of controlling the PCI and main memory data flow.
The paths between each component are referred to as "buses." Buses are simply the paths, or wires, that connect one component to another.

 core logic - Glossary - CNET.com
The central functions of a computer are usually handled by a set of chips called the core logic chipset.
These functions are the system's traffic cops: a cache for instructions, a controller for handling memory, bus interface logic, and data path functions.

 BlueSmoke - Review : Intel 845G Chipset
Both chipsets are duplicates of the 845E, except that the 845G features Intel's integrated Extreme Graphics while the 845GL is a crippled 845G, lacking an AGP slot and support for the new quad-pumped 533MHz FSB.
By far, that title belongs to the cores that are integrated into chipsets, which is why both ATI and nVIDIA are scrambling to the market with their respective integrated chipset solutions.
All in all, we can only speculate that Intel desires to closely guard its chipsets' reputations for compatibility and reliability.

 Chipsets Today and Tomorrow -- Feature by ExtremeTech
For years the motherboard chipset industry has been the whipping boy of the computer world.
None of the three remaining chipset companies had the R&D advantages Intel did, and even if they pooled their resources they could not touch what Intel could do in terms of money.
Seemingly overnight, Intel became the dominant chipset maker in the industry.

Later on, motherboards with this chipset may be cheaper, but so far they are not, while most of them only have 512k512k L2 cache, restricting the amount of cached memory to 128MB.
Read the characteristics of the chipset, paying attention to the ECC support, maximum amount of cacheable memory, the bus speed, and the memory speed and type (which better be PC100 or PC133 SDRAM, not Rambus RDRAM).
Keep in mind that certain chipsets are not supported by Linux, or there are known difficulties.

 SiS748 Chipset Review
But it doesn't mean that it's a bad chipset: it just depends on where one uses it.
As you can see, SiS first changed the memory clock speed leaving the FSB as is. But it wasn't an original approach - if you remember, AMD formerly denied a possibility of the Athlon XP with FSB 333 MHz, not to mention 400 MHz.
The bridge was divided so that the customers could integrate the functions they wanted.

 SiS735 - a chipset with DDR SDRAM support for SocketA systems
The chipsets with the SDRAM memory are working at the maximum performance level they are capable of, and the DDR ones have still some reserve.
The SiS chipset differs from other chipsets, as you know, in an untraditional approach: a north and a south bridges are combined in one chip.
The major advantage is a possibility to extend a throughput of the bus between the bridges.

 AnandTech: Intel 875P (Canterwood) Chipset - The New Flagship
The Taiwanese motherboard manufacturers couldn't be happier that they finally have chipsets from Intel that are high in demand; it was quite an ordeal for them when Intel was forcing chipsets down their throats that no customer wanted to touch with a ten foot pole.
The 875P chipset marks a few milestones for Intel; for starters, it depicts Intel as a company that does listen to the needs and requests of their customers - mainly in its support for DDR400 memory technology.
Embracing DDR400 SDRAM is something we never thought we would see Intel do, especially considering their stance on the technology in the past, thus we were quite surprised when we heard of the possibility last year at Computex.

Now that the Intel 815 chipset is finally upon us, the real question is whether or not it is everything we imagined it would be.
Because Intel was slipping in the chipset world, VIA managed to step forward with their Apollo Pro 133/133A chipsets and snatch a significant portion of the market.  VIA even went as far as to organize the memory industry in developing a PC133 SDRAM standard, something Intel didn’t even hold a part in. 
Since then, Intel has introduced chipset after chipset that have failed to gain the recognition and support that we were used to seeing from motherboard manufacturers and the market alike.

 Your PC's Second Most Important Silicon: The Chipset
One manufacturer, Nvidia Corp., prefers the term "platform processor" to "chipset." It's marketing jargon that makes sense, in that a chipset determines a motherboard's and hence computer's capabilities -- everything from what kinds of peripherals you can plug into it to what kinds of CPU and memory it can use.
And next to the CPU, the most important part of a motherboard is its core logic chipset.
A chipset's functions are divided into two groups, which are usually handled by two chips -- the Northbridge and Southbridge, which you can think of as "inner" and "outer" or adjacent to the CPU and peripherals, respectively.

Specifically, 'chipset' can refer to the particular acceleration engine used in your graphics card (such as 'ATI Rage Pro', 'Voodoo 3', or 'Matrox G400'.) This term is also (more generally) used to refer to the larger chips on your motherboard which interface between the main processor, memory, and the various peripherals.
'Chipset' then, generally refers to a collection of microchips designed together to handle some task.
If you're talking about, e.g., the agpgart kernel driver for dma support, this is the chipset people will be asking about (such as '440BX' or 'VIA MVP3'.) These days, the 'chipset' may well be integrated into a single package, but the historical usage persists.
