Understanding Intel H67




Sandy Bridge processor is indeed a big leap for Intel. This is possible due to some performance improvements, which.

This increase exceeds the performance of the first generation of Intel Core (Nehalem). Although the increase was due to changes in all support services (such as using the new socket and chipset), all these changes properly with what can be achieved in terms of performance related.

As is known, the new generation of CPU and motherboard dihadirkanlah new socket (LGA1155) to be admitted. Dihadirkannya chipset also varies depending on the desired segment. Like the racing arena with different types of vehicles as well as variants that Intel introduced a 6-series chipsets, such as P67, H67, H61, P61 Z68 filled for desktop platforms.

As the field of racing, they are ready to compete on the throne to take in order to be better in each class. This time we talk about Intel chipset H67 has the integrated graphics feature.

First by the graphics processor

The interesting thing helps H67 Intel graphics board "power" of the processor. The goal is that their performance is better than just relying on the chipset. Interestingly, supports all processors that can be used in an Intel chipset with integrated graphics H67. This differs from previous generations, while the Intel chipset H57 only allow the integrated graphics chip on a number of processors in particular.

You do not have to bother to find out which processor to the graphics chip on board and what is not compatible. State, use the Intel Core series i3, i5, i7 (Sandy Bridge), with the serial numbers 2xxx (such as Intel Core i7-i5-2600 or 2500 and so on. Due to the CPU utilization using already highlighted the integrated graphics chip.

Intel integrated graphics chip named HD Graphics has enjoyed the support DirectX 10.1, Shader Model 4.1 and OpenGL 3.0, the game enough to play the latest games at low resolutions. Also, the graphics chip is already strong enough to play high-definition video Blu-ray. It also includes analog and digital connectors such as D-Sub, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, SPDIF up. Features that are suitable for those who want to build a multimedia PC or HTPC.

Second Without overclock system

Intel Chipset H67 for those who do not really need the best performance presented by overclocking. As simple H67 Intel chip, graphics is equipped with facilities without overclocking. Furthermore, this chipset also limits the speed of the RAM in the levels of 1333 MHz processor overclocked Although eliminated, H67 allows to overclock the integrated graphics chip built into the processor. This differs from the Intel P67, which is the opposite. Like other 6 series chipset, takes over with a kind of one H67 chipset, the chipset Northbridge and Southbridge tasks. This chipset supports 6 Gbps port SATA3 supports USB3.0 port at the same time more chips.

Third replacement BIOS
Interestingly, some of the 6 series chipset is UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) instead of the BIOS (Basic Input Output System). The old BIOS version was obsolete, although its function is still relevant today.

Replacement is definitely a boon for UEFI, the BIOS does not belong. Among the latest device support, such as hard disk with a capacity of 3 TB and more. Convenient and attractive UEFI is accompanied by a graphical user interface, which are more interesting than the appearance of a rigid and simple BIOS. Using a mouse, not what was possible from the keyboard, from here. UEFI must also be compatible with the latest generation of gesture-interface and touch screen mode.

However, some boards still conventional BIOS functions, thanks to a still strong enough in a few lines.

Finishing fourth

Sand Bridge Intel, Intel H67 is the perfect solution for building high performance HTPC with the latest technology. It is also possible thanks to the integrated graphics chipset and analog or digital outputs through the D-Sub, DVI to HDMI and DisplayPort support represented.

Although integrated graphics chip only supports up to DirectX 10.1, is more than enough for those who want to build a HTPC to meet. Players who need a DirectX graphics performance up to 11 may benefit from PCI Express x16 slots accept a separate graphics card.
