Figure 5-5 Intel CPU and PCH

NOTE All but the lowest-powered chipsets require cooling fins or fans.

Also, even though chipsets are often single-chip solutions, it’s common tech

speak to say “chipset” (even though “set” implies more than one chip).

The chipset extends the data bus to every device on the PC. The CPU uses

the data bus to move data to and from all the devices of the PC. Data

constantly flows on the data bus among the CPU, chipset, RAM, and other

devices on the PC (see Figure 5-6).
