Sandy bridge fsb protocol

[hannibal2469]

can anyone list the fsb protocol for sandy bridge lga 1155
like the bandwidth and technologyg used in fsb

Sandy bridge doesnt have a FSB, the front side bus connectors the processor to the northbridge, sandy bridge no longer has a north bridge as the PCI-E controller and memory controller have been integrated into the CPU, the CPU connects directly to the memory, PCI-E slots, and the PCH, it connects to the PCH and other peripherals using DMI.

Why are you asking?

"it connects to the PCH and other peripherals using DMI."could you elaborate on that such as bandwidth and pci e lanes(the ones used for DMI) and what other peripherals
@colgeek thx but i have already checked wikipedia

Good on you for previously checking other sources. Many who post similar questions simply don't.

So, why are you asking? Sounds almost like a homework assignment.....
