Product Brief Mobile Intel® 915GME Express Chipset Embedded Computing Mobile Intel® 915GME Express Chipset for Embedded Computing Product Overview The Mobile Intel® 915GME Express chipset offers an optimized integrated graphics solution with a 400 MHz and 533 MHz frontside bus. The integrated 32-bit 3D graphics engine, based on Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (Intel® GMA 900) architecture, operates at core speeds of up to 333 MHz. The chipset consists of the Intel® 915GME Graphic Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel® I/O Controller Hub 6-M (ICH6-M). It features a low-power design, is validated with the Intel® Pentium® M and Intel® Celeron® M processors on 90nm process, and supports up to 2 GB of DDR2 533 MHz system memory. Intel’s platform architecture delivers the performance and high scalability required for today’s cutting-edge embedded computing applications. The Intel 915GME GMCH and ICH6-M are part of Intel’s comprehensive validation process that enables fast deployment of next-generation platforms to maximize competitive advantage while minimizing development risks. •Direct Media Interface (DMI) chip interconnect can be implemented x4 or x2 widths, and provides up to 1 GB/s in each Product Highlights • Designed, validated, and optimized for Intel Pentium M and direction in full duplex •Four USB host controllers provide high-performance peripherals Intel Celeron M processors on 90nm process and associated with 480 Mb/s of bandwidth, while enabling support for up to microarchitectures eight USB 2.0 ports.
