A Revolution in Chipset
Technology
The 820 chipset supports the RDRAM* memory technology, 133-MHz system bus,
and delivers significant graphics performance enhancements through the 4X
capability of the AGP 2.0 Interface Specification.
|
|
•The 82820 Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
provides the CPU interface, DRAM interface, and AGP interface in the 820
chipset platform. The MCH supports a single processor (82820) or two
processors with up to 1 GB of memory (82820DP).
|
|
•The 82801 I/O Controller Hub (ICH)
utilizes Intel® Accelerated Hub Architecture to make a direct connection from
the graphics and memory to the integrated AC97 controller, the ATA66
controller, dual USB ports, and PCI add-in cards.
|
|
•The 82802 Firmware Hub (FWH) stores
system BIOS and video BIOS, as well as the Intel® Random Number Generator
(RNG). The Intel RNG provides truly random numbers to enable stronger
encryption, digital signing, and security protocols. This baseline security
is provided across Intel's entire 800 chipset series product line.
