Intel P45 Chipset


The new P45 chipset by Intel supports a variety of features including new Intel 1600 MHz Front Side Bus processors, dual-channel 1600 MHz DDR3, Extreme Memory Profiles (Intel XMP), next-generation dual PCI Express 2.0 lanes, and Intel Extreme Tuning, allowing for maximum platform performance.

The Intel P45 Express Chipset is driving PCIE 2.0 to mainstream users, delivering up to 16 GB/s bandwidth, twice the bandwidth of PCI Express 1.0. The Intel P45 Express
Chipset supports either a 1 x 16 or 2 x 8 PCIE2.0 configuration for expandable discrete graphics capability. PCIE2.0 also provides greater flexibility and reliability in design because it is backward compatible with PCIE1.0 and can dynamically manage power and performance through software controls.
