The passage of memory controller and graphic core in the central processor, in the opinion of some experts, had to lead in the simplification of motherboard design and reduction in their retail price. AMD Processors are already for several years equipped with the built-in memory controller , and the chipset selection for users is reduced to the determination of the functional possibilities, which it must possess.
Motherboards on base of Intel p55 chipset with LGA 1156 socket can be already purchased, the four core processors lynnfield with the integrated memory controller also appeared on sale.
As it was explained, the unique chip Intel p55 cost $40- so much as Intel p45. To the newer chipset, is not necessary to add a south bridge, but the latter cost only $3, and therefore it cannot substantially influence the final motherboard cost .
On the calculations of our associates, motherboard on base of Intel p55 chipset with SLI support cannot cost less than $105, and the functionally saturated motherboard will be worth already more than $200. Related Products :
