00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:06.759
what is a chipet you might ask to which I might reply a fantastic Sunday

00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:10.519
afternoon on the couch where you and all your buddies have all the selection of

00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:14.280
snacks you could possibly want but that would be a silly answer because I'm

00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:19.600
pretty sure you me your question in the context of Technology where the meaning

00:00:16.840 --> 00:00:25.080
is actually very different a chipset acts as a Communications Hub and traffic

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:29.320
control center on a motherboard the backbone of a PC it determines your

00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:34.440
motherboard's compatibility with everything from the CPU to storage

00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:39.520
devices and graphics cards influences future system expansion capabilities and

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:44.200
even affects support for advanced features like overclocking the process

00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:49.079
of turning up the speed of your system past manufacturer specifications

00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:53.840
traditionally a chipset would consist of two components the Northbridge which was

00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:58.600
connected directly to the CPU and handled high-speed communication between

00:00:56.440 --> 00:01:03.079
the CPU and performance sensitive components like system memory graphics

00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:06.920
cards and the South Bridge which was connected to the North Bridge and acted

00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:11.479
as a communication hub for Less performance sensitive components storage

00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:16.680
devices USB ports onboard networking sound chips Etc so that's where the name

00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:21.640
came from it quite literally means a set of chips or integrated circuits on a

00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:25.119
motherboard but in modern computers and we're going to use the latest and

00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:30.000
greatest Intel x99 chipset as our example today the chipset is really very

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:34.439
different it still dictates CPU compatibility so in this case it's

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:39.759
designed to work with core i7 5000 series six core and 8 core CPUs in the

00:01:36.759 --> 00:01:42.560
LGA 20113 socket all of which require

00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:46.600
ddr4 memory and are compatible with PCI Express gen 3 graphics cards and other

00:01:44.399 --> 00:01:52.479
expansion cards but that's where the differences start to pop up memory PCI

00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:55.520
Express expansion and I mean really that's most of what used to be the north

00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:02.320
Bridge's job and now it's built right into your shiny new CPU so the x99 chip

00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:05.799
set is actually one chip that instead of

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:08.640
Southbridge Intel now calls a PCH or

00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:13.120
platform controller Hub this newer design has a couple of positive effects

00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:16.720
first with performance sensitive components communicating directly with

00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:21.920
the CPU rather than through a North Bridge system latency is reduced and

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:26.120
responsiveness is increased this is great for performance enthusiasts and

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:31.840
Gamers who want to take full advantage of the up to 40 PCIe gen 3 lanes that

00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:36.720
support up to four simultaneous graphics cards and other exotic configurations

00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:42.200
and second as traditionally less demanding components like hard drives

00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:44.959
and USB ports continue to increase in

00:02:42.200 --> 00:02:50.959
performance with x99 supporting up to 10 SATA 3 ports that can run ssds instead

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:53.879
of hard drives and six usb3 ports that

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:59.879
operate at about 10 times the throughput of USB 2 this allows those devices to

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:04.400
make only one jump over the much higher performance DMI 2.0 interface rather

00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:10.120
than two jumps to communicate with the CPU which again improves system

00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:15.440
performance so while the number of chips in the set has been reduced to only one

00:03:12.799 --> 00:03:21.480
the functionality is still the same for x99 as it was for 875 P the high

00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:25.680
performance chipset back when I first got into PCS reduce potential

00:03:23.799 --> 00:03:31.000
bottlenecks and facilitate smooth communication between all components for

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:34.360
trouble-free computer op operation speaking of potential bottlenecks you

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:38.760
might be hitting a bottleneck in your career path because of a lack of

00:03:36.519 --> 00:03:44.000
knowledge so how do you get past that linda.com the sponsor of today's episode
