Intel-Bridge Architecture - I
When Intel started using this architecture it started calling the bridges as “hubs”, the north bridge became MCH (Memory Controller Hub) and the south bridge became ICH (I/O Controller Hub). When the CPU reads data from a hard drive, the data is transferred from the hard drive to the south bridge, then to the north bridge using the dedicated bus and then to the CPU. Also, the manufacturers call this bus as DMI (Direct Media Interface) or Intel Hub Architecture. Release 22/10/2010 powered by dj
40
Intel-Bridge Architecture - II
The speed of this dedicated bus depends on the chipset model. For example, on Intel 925X chipset this bus has a maximum transfer speed of 2 GB/s. The IOH provides support for the two PCIe graphics slots and connects to the CPU via the Quick Path Interconnect (QPI) bus. The ICH provides the support for the SATA, USB and other system interfaces and is connected to the IOH via the DMI bus. Release 22/10/2010 powered by dj
