4/6 (4 in ICH8, 6 in ICH8R) Serial ATA II ports for 4/6 SATA300 devices (SATA-II, the second generation of the standard) supporting AHCI mode and NCQ (ICH8R only).DMI bus (~2 GB/s bandwidth) to the ICH8/R Southbridge.Integrated graphics core GMA X3000 (only G965) supporting Clear Video technology.Dual-channel DDR2-533/667/800 memory controller, up to 4 DIMM modules with the total size of up to 8 GB (without ECC), Fast Memory Access and Flex Memory technologies.Support for all "old" Celeron and Pentium processors (including dual-core processors) with 533/800/1066 MHz FSB, as well as all Core 2 Duo/Extreme processors.Here is a brief list of the key features of the 965-series chipsets: This flow chart shows the key characteristics of the G965 (P965 differs only by the lack of integrated video): Intel P965/G965 ExpressĪ noticeable difference of the new products is a modified naming procedure - letters are now put before the numeric index (however, the reasons for it are not clear).
However, let's proceed right to the details. Of course, a much more important reason to launch the i945/955 was to create a platform for dual-core processors. However, i915 successors (i925X is not worth mentioning, as it's architecturally undistinguishable from the i915P) added so insignificant functional changes that according to the old Intel nomenclature, i965 chipsets may be called something like i915EP. This series was initially so revolutional, that its discussion even eclipsed the eternal "A vs. With the launch of i965 and i975, the 900 chipset series from Intel has nearly come to an end.
