System Overview

This board is designed with Intel® 845PE chipset. The Intel® 845PE chipset includes

MCH(FW82845PE), ICH4(FW82801DB) and FWH three chips. The Intel® 845PE

chipset is designed for Intels FC-PGA2 socket 478 package architecture and

support the 4X capability of the AGP 2.0 Interface Specification. A new chipset

component interconnect, the hub interface, is designed into the Intel® 845PE chipset

to provide more efficient communication between chipset components.

Support of AGP 4X, 266 333MHz DDR SDRAM and the hub interface provides a

balanced system architecture for the Pentium® 4 in the Socket 478 architecture

processor minimizing bottlenecks and increasing system performance. By

increasing memory bandwidth to 2.128GB s through the use of AGP 4X, the

Intel® 845PE chipset will deliver the data throughput necessary to take advantage

of the high performance provided by the powerful Pentium® 4 in the Socket 478

architecture processor.

The Intel® 845PE chipset architecture removes the requirement for the ISA

expansion bus that was traditionally integrated into the I O subsystem of Intel

chipsets. This removes many of the conflicts experienced when installing

hardware and drivers into legacy ISA systems. The elimination of ISA will provide

true plug-and play for the Intel® 845PE platform.

Intel® 845PE chipset contains three core components: the Memory Controller

Hub (MCH), the I O Controller Hub (ICH4) and the Firmware Hub (FWH). The

MCH integrates the data transfer rate of 400 533MHz, Pentium® 4 processor bus

controller, AGP 2.0 controller, 266 333MHz DDR SDRAM controller and a high-

speed hub interface for communication with the ICH4. The ICH4 integrates an Ultra

ATA 66 100 controller, USB host controller, LPC interface controller, FWH interface

controller, PCI interface controller, and a hub interface for communication with the

MCH. The Intel® 845PE chipset will provide the data buffering and interface

arbitration required to ensure that system interfaces operate efficiently and provide

the system bandwidth necessary to obtain peak performance the Pentium® 4 in the

Socket 478 architecture.

Chipset Components

The Intel® 845PE chipset consists of the Memory Controller Hub (MCH), the I O

Controller Hub (ICH4) and the Firmware Hub (FWH).

!Memory Controller Hub (MCH)

The MCH provides the interconnect between the DDR SDRAM and the system

logic. It integrates:

- Support for single processor with a data transfer rate of 400 533MHz.

- 200 266 333MHz DDR SDRAM interface supporting 2GB of DDR SDRAM.

- 4X 1.5V AGP interface (Only support 1.5V on AGP interface).

- Downstream hub link for access to the ICH4.

!I/O Controller Hub (ICH4)

The I O controller Hub provides the I O subsystem with access to the rest of

the system. Additionally, it integrates many I O functions. The ICH4 integrates:

- Upstream hub link for access to the MCH

- 2 Channel Ultra ATA 33 66 100 Bus Master IDE controller

- USB controller

- SMBus controller

- FWH interface

- LPC interface

- PCI 2.2 interface

- Integrated System Management Controller

!Firmware Hub (FWH)

The FWH component is a key element to enabling a new security and manage-

ability infrastructure for the PC platform. The device operates under the FWH

interface and protocol. The hardware features of this device include a unique a

Random Number Generator (RNG), register-based locking, and hardware-

based locking.

Intel Pentium 4 processors

Formally known as the Willamette, the PentiumTM 4 is the next PEneration IA-32

processor from Intel. This next generation design is based upon a new micro-

architecture that brings higher clock speeds and performance than previous

processors could deliver. Among other advanced features the Pentium 4 offers

Streaming SIMD extensions 2, Advanced Dynamic Execution, Hyper Pipelined

Technology, and a data transfer rate of 400 533MHz system bus.

Streaming SIMD Extensions

Building upon the foundations of core features of their previous line of proces-

sors the Pentium 4, this new version introduces Streaming SIMD Extensions 2

technology commonly referred to as SSE2. But what does this mean? SIMD stands

for Single Instruction Multiple Data. Usually, processors process one data

element in one instruction, called Single Instruction Single Data, or SISD. In

contrast, with Single Instruction Single Data (SISD), SIMD has the ability to

process more than one piece of data element during one instruction.

This technology is useful for 3D graphics applications that handle considerable

amounts of floating-point numbers. With SIMD applications such as 3D graphics

will be able to processor more data per instruction when equates to better

performance. This technology adds 144 new instructions to the CPU core that can

be used in a wide variety of applications. Software programmers can for example,

take advantage of these new instructions and write more optimized code that take

advantage of newer SIMD double-precision floating-point, integer, and cache

ability instructions. In theory, this will enable better next generation services such

as Interactive Digital TV to be produced.

Advanced Dynamic Execution

Advanced Dynamic Execution describes the improved implementation and

abilities over the older P6 processor lines out-of-order decoupled super scalar

execution. Dynamic execution allows instructions to the processor to be executed

without the need to do so in order. The ability to do this can add a significant

performance increase versus ordered execution.
