Overview
The PCH architecture supersedes Intel's previous
Hub Architecture, with its design addressing the eventual problematic performance bottleneck between the processor and the
motherboard
A motherboard (also called mainboard, main circuit board, mb, mboard, backplane board, base board, system board, logic board (only in Apple computers) or mobo) is the main printed circuit board (PCB) in general-purpose computers and other expand ...
. Over time, the speed of CPUs kept increasing but the bandwidth of the
front-side bus
A front-side bus (FSB) is a computer communication interface (bus) that was often used in Intel-chip-based computers during the 1990s and 2000s. The EV6 bus served the same function for competing AMD CPUs. Both typically carry data between the ...
(FSB) (connection between the CPU and the motherboard) did not, resulting in a performance bottleneck.
Under the Hub Architecture, a motherboard would have a two piece chipset consisting of a northbridge chip and a southbridge chip. As a solution to the bottleneck, several functions belonging to the traditional
northbridge and
southbridge chipsets were rearranged. The northbridge and its functions are now eliminated completely: The memory controller, PCI Express lanes for

s and other northbridge functions are now incorporated into the CPU die as a
system agent (Intel) or packaged in the processor on an I/O die (AMD Zen 2).
The PCH then incorporates a few of the remaining northbridge functions (e.g. clocking) in addition to all of the southbridge's functions, replacing it. The system clock was previously a connection and is now incorporated into the PCH. Two different connections exist between the PCH and the CPU:
Flexible Display Interface (FDI) and
Direct Media Interface

was also moved to the PCH starting with the
Nehalem processors and
5-Series chipsets. AMD's chipsets instead use several PCIe lanes to connect with the CPU while also providing their own PCIe lanes, which are also provided by the processor itself.
With the northbridge functions integrated to the CPU, much of the bandwidth needed for chipsets is now relieved.
This style began in
Nehalem and will remain for the foreseeable future, through
Cannon Lake.
Phase-out
Beginning with ultra-low-power
Broadwells and continuing with mobile
Skylake processors, Intel incorporated the southbridge IO controllers into the CPU package, eliminating the PCH for a
