The 820 Chipset:Overview & Siblings 820 Chipset used high-speed low pin
count buses. This new architecture has double the
aggregate bandwidth of it predecessor for intel 440 BX chipset in every critical area.
8
Technology Background The 820 chipset incorporate four highly
controlled circuits or buses Processor system bus (PSB) Direct Rambus memory interface AGP4x Hub interface
These buses are easily scaled by advancing their clock frequency , while their physical simplicity reduces the design challenges.

Electrical Integrity:Summary The 820 chipset incorporates the following
advances to contain the challenges of Maxwell’s equations. Hub Interface:A reduced pin count high-integrity bus
for system interconnection. Direc Rambus for memory interconnect Advanced cabling for ATA-66 hard drive interconnect A new 1.5V signal level for AGP4x.
This enchancements increase reliability and performance while lowering system cost.
11
The Bandwidth Challenge
As processor technology advances,both clock rates and work performed per clock cycle will increase.
So that 820 chipset outputforms its predecessor is increase ,show on Table3.

Validating Bandwidth Headroom
Figure1 Shows the relative results of this test when run on the Intel 440BX chipset platform and the Intel 820 chipset platform
The result: Intel 820 chipset have more B/W to access headroom than Intel 440BX about 2.26 time.

Chipset Architecture
Intel ‘s new 820 chipset consist of three components: A memory controller hub (MCH,82820
) I/O controller hub (ICH, 82801 ) Firmware hub( FWH,82802)
18
Chipset Architecture
The Hub architecture,high-speed buses also save pins.
820 chipset has a total of 565 pins between its two major components ,compared with 816 on 440BX.
So that manufacturing cost will be reduce and increased reliability.
No bottle-neck from PCI protocol
