Intel H67 Express Chipset Explained
The Intel H67 Platform Controller Hub communicates with socket 1155 'Sandy
Bridge' processors over a 20Gb/s DMI link. The H67 chipset contains eight PCI
Express 2.0 lanes, the remaining PCI Express lanes stem from the processor itself.
Although the H67 and P67 chipsets are very similar, the chipsets differ in regards to
integrated graphics support. The Intel H67 includes Intel's Flexible Display Interface (FDI) so it can
output video, the Intel P67 does not.
Intel's FDI can be thought of as a direct line to the integrated graphics core built into every Sandy
Bridge microprocessor. An FDI link allows users to unlock Sandy Bridge's integrated graphics core and
use it for everyday work, for tasks like hardware-based video transcoding acceleration via Intel Quick
Sync, or light gaming.
With the Intel H67 platform, users also have access to H.264 & MPEG2 encode and support for HDMI
1.4 with 3D. Standard features brought forth by the Intel H67 / HD 3000 combo include a 4th
generation Unified Shader Architecture, H.264, VC-1 and MPEG-2 hardware decoding, 12 Execution
Units, Open GL 3.0, Shader Model 4.1 and DirectX 10.1 support.
Lack of DX11 support obviously limits the Intel H67 / HD 3000 IGP's usefulness in the FPS gaming
arena, but by that same measure, IGPs aren't meant for intensive FPS gaming. The Intel HD 3000 IGP
supports HDMI 1.4 which provides support for Stereo 3D and delivers uncompressed HD video and
uncompressed multi-channel audio in a single cable, supporting 720p, 1080i and 1080p formats.
