The North Bridge chip is a chip on the computer motherboard that is located next to the CPU socket and acts as a connection. The North bridge chip is the closest chip to the CPU on the motherboard, which is mainly due to the fact that the communication between the North bridge chip and the processor is the closest, and the transmission distance is shortened in order to improve the communication performance.
The Northbridge chip is responsible for the contact with the CPU and controls the memory AGP data transmission within the Northbridge, providing support for the type and main frequency of the CPU, the front-end bus frequency of the system, the type and maximum capacity of the memory, AGP slot, ECC error correction, etc. The integrated chipset's Northbridge chip also integrates the display core. The role of the North bridge is very obvious, and it plays a leading role in the computer, so people are used to calling it the main bridge
