On the pages of forum XtremeSystems owners of motherboard on the base of chipset i975X and P965 compared the areas of the chipset core. Thus, chipset i975X seems to be sufficiently compact...
..., whereas the packing has analogous size chipset Intel P965 has much larger core:
it is Possible to compare this area with the core 0.13 m processor Northwood (on the left photo ):
To integrated chipset of this series have large core this is necessary for positioning the graphic subsystem with the "programmed pipeline", which can after time get the support of DirectX 10. Compatability with the latter requires many transistor - about this reported the ATI representatives .
these are only our hypothesis, but this is the first think that come in mind during the study of the Intel P965 chipset overall dimensions . possibly, the large surface area of chipset will help on the heat removal - this can be one reason why some motherboards on its basis are equipped only with passive cooling radiators .
