Mobile Intel® GS45 Express Chipset Overview
The mobile Intel® GS45 Express Chipset provides outstanding flexibility for developers of embedded applications by offering excellent graphics, memory and I/O bandwidth, as well as remote asset management capabilities, storage speed and reliability. Mobile Intel® GS45 Express Chipset is a small form factor chipset, however its features and functionality are comparable to mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset.
Features include an improved integrated graphics engine, up to 1066 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB), DDR2 or DDR3 system memory controller, and support for Intel® Active Management Technology¹ (Intel® AMT), Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT), and Intel® Matrix Storage Technology.² The I/O Controller Hub (ICH) delivers outstanding system performance through high-bandwidth interfaces including PCI Express*, Serial ATA, and USB 2.0.
The chipset addresses requirements of a broad range of embedded applications such as interactive clients, gaming platforms and industrial automation equipment. It consists of the Intel® GS45 Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH), and the Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9M Enhanced SKU (also in small form factor package). The I/O Controller Hub (ICH) delivers outstanding system performance through high-bandwidth interfaces including PCI Express, Serial ATA, and USB 2.0.
The mobile Intel GS45 Express Chipset is designed for and validated with the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor SL9400Δ, SP9300, SU9300, and Intel® Celeron® 722 processor based on 45nm process technology. This platform is part of Intel's comprehensive validation process, which enables rapid deployment and helps developers maximize competitive advantage and minimize development risks.
