The difference between GPU chipsets

Installed we often hear G31, P31, G41, P43 and other professional terminology, ordinary people do not know what is meant, in fact, the different name of the chipset, are inter company's products, the difference is mainly with integrated graphics card

For example, G31 's integrated graphics card is the Intel x3100 display chip, G41 is the GMA 4500 display chip. G41 to some extent can support the playback of some high-definition video, G31 is not.

Then the front-end bus support differences, P43 maximum support 1333mhz,p31/g31 only support 1066MHz;

Specific data (from Intel official):

The intel® ®G31 Express chipset supports the Intel® 45 NM processor technology and provides an extensible platform for value-oriented consumers. Intel X3100 's display chips feature 1333MHz system bus and DDR2 memory technology, and support Windows vista* Premium, and the intel® G31 Express chipset enhances the scalability and performance of daily computing. Display chip with Intel X3100

intel® ®g41 Express chipset with intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 (intel® ®gma X4500), including local support for smooth high-definition video playback, in addition to video, the intel® ®G41 Express chipset offers optimized 3D graphics performance and supports

Microsoft directx* 10, Shader model* 4.0, and opengl* 2.0. These graphics enhancements

intel® ®P31 Express Chipset features

The 1066/800 MHz system bus supports the intel® core™ duo and the intel® core™ 24 processor, and PCI express* 1.1 interface PCI Express 1.1 provides 8gb/s bandwidth for platform graphics. intel® Quick Memory Access optimizes the use of available memory bandwidth and reduces memory access latency

Dual-channel DDR2 memory support delivers up to 12.8 GB/s (DDR2 2 x 6.4gb/s) bandwidth and 4 GB of memory addressing, with faster system responsiveness and 64-bit computing support.

The

intel® ®P43 Express chipset desktop platform, combined with the intel® core™ 24 processor or intel® core™ Duo processor, delivers outstanding performance for the mainstream platform. The intel® P43 Express chipset supports the 45-nanometer intel® core™ processor family (1333MHz front-end bus, dual channel DDR3 and PCI express* 2.0 graphics).
