| Intel H57, P57 and Q57 chipsets for Lynnfield/Havendale newzhunter Jan 18th, 09, 11:17 AM | #1 (permalink) |
According to Taiwan's motherboard industry pointed out that the code-named the Ibex Peak chipset Intel 5 Series is not just P55 model, the plan will be the introduction of four different specifications, including the H57, P57, Q57, H55 and P55, in which high-end models H57, P57 and Q57 will support the new Braidwood technology for the system startup and system response time to upgrade, and has good energy saving effect.
It is understood that, Intel does not Ibex Peak will be all the functions of completely open to a single model, but according to different market positioning and opening up different functions, such as P55 and P57 can support Socket 1156 of Lynnfield and Havendale processors, but the P55 and P57 are do not provide Flexible Display Interface (FDI), can not be applied Havendale processor built-in graphics core, to use graphics core, essential with H57, H55 and Q57 chipsets.
According to Intel white paper pointed out that, Ibex Peak output to deal with built-in display yuan, to support dual display output, and supports native HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort configuration, more built-Audio codec, no external line has been able to support HDM and DisplayPort Audio.
Although PCI-Express graphics interface has been built into the processor, but Lynnfield are able to support dual x8 graphics interface match, but it is not all Ibex Peak chipset can provide only P55 and P57 can support dual x8 graphics interface, and reached CrossFire SLI technology.
It is noteworthy that, Intel will be the Ibex Peak adding Braidwood new technology
, the truth is Intel Turbo Memory the revision, Ibex Peak built the NVRAM controller, through Braidwood dedicated NVRAM module card and motherboard The Braidwood module interface, will become the interface to the system and storage buffer, so that entry-level PC can also have what SSD and storage of the effect of reading and writing. However, Braidwood technology only H57, P57 and Q57 can support, and when Q57 use Anti-therft technology after the hard disk encryption technology (AT-d), and can not be used in Braidwood technology.
Expansion of specifications, the majority of Ibex Peak chipset, including H57, P57, Q57 and P55 supports 14 USB 2.0 interface, 8 PCI-E 2.0 x1 interface, six SATA II interface and four PCI interface, only the lowest-order The H55 has been cut to 12 USB 2.0 interface, 6 PCI-E 2.0 x1 interface, 4 SATA II interface.
Other functions, Q57 major market for business applications, it will support AMT 6.0, Remote PC Assist Technology and Anti-Theft technology, the P57 level against the performance of Coral Harbor is a unique technology, Volume Cache Tuning function and Email Event Notify functions, IGP-class performance for the application of H57 provides the same Remote PC Assist technology, but the function will be slightly different from that with the Q57.
In accordance with the latest Intel chipset planning, Ibex Peak will be the first in the third quarter of 2009 with the Lynnfield processor shipments, and other models will be to the first quarter of 2010 will be available.
