    Northbridge (computing) - Wikipedia

    In computing, a northbridge (also host bridge, or memory controller hub) is a microchip that comprises the core logic chipset architecture on motherboards to handle high-performance tasks, especially for older personal computers. It is connected directly to a CPU via the front-side bus (FSB), and is … See more

    Overview

    The northbridge typically handles communications among the CPU, in some cases RAM, and PCI Express (or AGP) video cards, and the southbridge. Some northbridges also contain integrated video controllers, also … See more

    Etymology

    The name is derived from drawing the architecture in the fashion of a map. The CPU would be at the top of the map comparable to due … See more
