1-7 CHIPSET

To compliment the Intel ® Slot 1 processor, the Intel ® 820 chipset delivers
a balanced platform solution for value computing. The 820 chipset is a
highly-integrated three-chip solution consisting of a Graphics & Memory
Controller (Intel 82820), an I/O Controller (Intel82801), and a Firmware
Hub (Intel 82802).
The ICH is a highly integrated multifunctional I/O Controller Hub that
provides the interface to the PCI Bus and integrates many of the functions
needed in today PC platforms. The ICH communicates with the host
controller over a dedicated hub interface.
The Intel ® 82802 Firmware Hub (FWH) component is part of the Intel ®
820 chipset. The FWH is key to enabling future security and
manageabilily infrastructures for the PC platform.
Intel has developed technology that enhances the performance and
exceptional value of the Intel ® Camino™ chipset-powered PC. Built on
the strong foundation of Intel ® 440BX AGPset technology, the Intel ® 820
chipset has re-engineered the Value PC, providing next generation features
and great graphics performance at a lower cost.
Richer, more robust 2D and 3D graphics are optimized thanks to an
integrated chipset design that utilizes second-generation graphics
technology. This integrated chipset offers innovative features with
compelling performance while lowering overall system costs.
A new design with big benefits
At the core of the 820 chipset is a memory controller with built-in graphics
technology. The 82820 chip optimizes system memory arbitration, similar
to AGP technology, resulting in a more responsive and cost-effective
system.
