Intel P45
The P45 Express (codenamed Eaglelake) is a mainstream desktop computer chipset from Intel released in Q2 2008. The first mainboards featuring the P45 chipset were shown at CeBIT 2008.[4][5][6][7]
The P45 Express chipset supports Intel's LGA 775 socket and Core 2 Duo and Quad processors. It is a 65nm chipset, compared to the earlier generation chipsets (P35, X38, X48) which were 90nm[8]. P45 was also the last Intel chipset to employ a north and south bridge (MCH/ICH); all current and future Intel chipsets make use of the PCH architecture.
