Bensley Platform

Major Components of Bensley Platform:

Chipsets

Chipsets plays a major role in the Bensley platform. As of now, we have three types of north bridge chipsets, viz.

(1) Blackford – Performance based Chipset

(2) Blackford-VS – Value added Chipset

(3) Green creek – Workstation based Chipset.

While the South Bridge will be ESB2 which will be common for all the three NB's mentioned above but with the utilization of the Chipset features will be in accordance with the needs of the Platform (whether it is performance or Value added or Workstation)
