Intel H55 chipsetThe Intel H55 Chipset includes the FDI (Flexible Display Interface) which enables direct connection between the CPU and the graphics core. This allows the display information to be sent back to the H55 chipset for output.
The graphics core inside the Clarkdale processor is known as GMA HD. Its difference from the G45 GMA X4500HD is in the number of Unified shaders which was increased from 10 to 12. -
Intel LGA 1156 Core™ i7/Core™ i5 Processor supportLynnfield is the first family of Intel 45nm CPU processors that uses the Intel Nehalem micro architecture in LGA1156 package. It is supported by Intel® DMI Interconnect and integrated with the Dual-channel memory controller with 4 DIMM slots DDR3 memory. It supports the Intel Turbo boost technology and smart cache. -
Dual Channel DDR3It supports 2 or 4 DIMM Slots DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1800(O.C.)/1600/1333. The processor support 2 memory channels and setting the memory multiplier, allows selection of the channel speed. These clearly uplift the band width and boost the overall system performance.
