CTI 130 Module 2processor socket - ANS-this socket and chipset determine which processors a board can
support`
FCLGA (Flip-Chip Land Grid Array) - ANS-A type of socket used by processors that has blunt
protruding pins on the socket that connect with lands or pads on the bottom of the processor.
The chips in the processor package are flipped over so that the top of the chip makes contact
with the socket.
FCPGA (flip-chip pin grid array) - ANS-A type of socket used by processors that has holes
aligned in rows to receive pins on the bottom of the processor. The chips in the processor are
flipped over so that the top of the chip makes contact with the socket.
SPGA (staggered pin grid array) - ANS-A type of socket used by processors that has pins
staggered over the socket in order to squeeze more pins into a small space.
BGA (Ball Grid Array) - ANS-A connection via a processor that is soldered to the motherboard,
and the two are always purchased as a unit.
zero insertion force (ZIF) socket - ANS-A socket that uses a small lever to apply even force
when you install the processor into the socket.
- this lever is used to lift the processor up and out of the socket
chipset - ANS-A group of chips on the motherboard that controls the timing and flow of data and
instructions to and from the CPU.
North Bridge - ANS-That portion of the chipset hub that connects faster I/O buses to the system
bus.
system bus (FSB Front Side Bus) - ANS-the bus between the CPU and memory on the
motherboard
South Bridge - ANS-That portion of the chipset hub that connects slower I/O buses to the
system bus.
QPI (Quickpath interconnect) - ANS-The technology used first by the Intel X58 chipset for
communication between the chipset and the processor using 16 serial lanes similar to that used
by PCI Express. Replaced the 64-bit wide Front Side Bus used by previous chipsets.
Sandy bridge chipset - ANS-- memory and graphics controller in processor
- these types of motherboard use DDR3 memory
, - ex. Second Gen. Core i7 processor
Nehalem chipset - ANS-- contain memory controller within processor housing
- memory connects directly to processor
- has QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) technology and has 16 lanes of data packets
Ivy Bridge Chipset - ANS-- use less power
- more transistors in a smaller place
- perform better than earlier products
- uses a single Platform Controller Hub
Haswell - ANS-- work with the LGA1150 and LGA2011 sockets
- work with DDR3 and DDR4 memory and use less power than previous chipsets
Broadwell - ANS-- faster than the Haswell chipsets
- use the LGA1150 socket
Skylake chipset - ANS-- uses the new LGA1151 socket and supports DDR3 and DDR4 memory
APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) - ANS-An AMD technology that is a combination of a CPU
and a graphics processor unit (GPU) in the same processor housing.
A series chipsets - ANS-- designed to support the AMD APU which is a combination of a CPU
and a graphics processing unit (GPU)
- support AMD CrossFire technology, which uses dual video cards in the same system
9 series chipsets - ANS-- designed to support AMD processors that can have up to eight cores
traces - ANS-A wire on a circuit board that connects two components or devices.
- are circuits or paths that enable data, instructions, and power to move from component to
component on the board
bus - ANS-The paths, or lines, on the motherboard on which data, instructions, and electrical
power move from component to component.
protocol - ANS-A set of rules and standards that two entities use for communication. For
example, TCP/IP is a suite or group of protocols that define many types of communication on a
TCP/IP network.
data bus - ANS-Lines of the bus, a system of pathway used for communication on the
motherboard, used for data.
data path size - ANS-The width of a data bus
