Mobile Intel® 945GSE Express Chipset For embedded computing
The mobile Intel® 945GSE Express Chipset provides power-efficient graphics and rich I/O capabilities for cost-effective embedded solutions. It features an integrated 32-bit 3D graphics engine based on Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (Intel® GMA 950) architecture, a 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB), single-channel 400/533 MHz DDR2 system memory (SODIMM and/or memory down), and Intel® High Definition Audio¹ interface.
The chipset consists of the Intel® 82945GSE Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel® I/O Controller Hub 7-M (ICH7-M). It delivers outstanding system performance and flexibility through high-bandwidth interfaces such as PCI Express,* PCI, Serial ATA, and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connectivity.
Designed for and validated with the Intel® Atom™ processor N270Ω on 45nm process technology, this platform offers an excellent solution for embedded market segments such as digital signage, interactive clients (kiosks, point-of-sale terminals), thin clients, digital security, residential gateways, print imaging, and commercial and industrial control. It is part of Intel's comprehensive validation process, enabling fast deployment of next-generation platforms to help developers maximize competitive advantage while minimizing development risks.

¹ Intel® High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio) requires a system with an appropriate Intel® chipset and a motherboard with an appropriate codec and the necessary drivers installed. System sound quality will vary depending on actual implementation, controller, codec, drivers, and speakers.
