There are many chips on the mainboard, including:
1. Processor chips: such as Intel Core i5, i7, i9, AMD Ryzen, Ryzen Pro, etc.
2. Graphics chip: such as NVIDIA GeForce, RTX, AMD Radeon, etc.
3. Memory chip: such as DDR4 and DDR5.
4. Hard disk chips, such as SATA and NVMe.
5. Mainboard chip: such as ATX, ATZ, ITX.
6.USB chip: such as USB 2.0, USB 3.0, USB 4.0 and so on.
7.M.2 chip: Used to support Intel M.2 technology, such as Intel I210, I211, and I214.
8.PCIe chip: A graphics card or storage device that supports the PCIe protocol.
9.SPI chip: Used for devices that support SPI protocol, such as SD card, USB controller, etc.
These chips are each responsible for different functions on the motherboard, and by working together, the motherboard can operate normally.
There are usually multiple chips installed on the motherboard, including the north bridge chip and the South bridge chip. The Northbridge chip handles the communication between the processor and memory, including controlling the bus speed and the memory controller.
The Southbridge chip handles communication with external devices, including control hard drives, USB, audio, and network interfaces. In addition, other chips may also be installed on the motherboard, such as BIOS chips, power management chips, clock chips, etc., to provide more functions and support. These chips work together so that the motherboard can run properly and connect various hardware devices.
