Mobile Intel® 915GME Express Chipset for
Embedded Computing
Product Overview
The Mobile Intel® 915GME Express chipset offers an optimized
integrated graphics solution with a 400 MHz and 533 MHz front-
side bus. The integrated 32-bit 3D graphics engine, based on Intel®
Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (Intel® GMA 900) architecture,
operates at core speeds of up to 333 MHz. The chipset consists
of the Intel® 915GME Graphic Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 6-M (ICH6-M). It features a low-power
design, is validated with the Intel® Pentium® M and Intel® Celeron®
M processors on 90nm process, and supports up to 2 GB of DDR2
533 MHz system memory.
Intel’s platform architecture delivers the performance and high
scalability required for today’s cutting-edge embedded computing
applications. The Intel 915GME GMCH and ICH6-M are part of Intel’s
comprehensive validation process that enables fast deployment
of next-generation platforms to maximize competitive advantage
while minimizing development risks.
Product Highlights
• Designed, validated, and optimized for Intel Pentium M and
Intel Celeron M processors on 90nm process and associated
microarchitectures
• 400 and 533 MHz front-side bus delivers a high-bandwidth
connection between the processor and platform
• Supports dual-channel non-ECC DDR2 400/533 MHz and
single-channel DDR 333
• New graphics core based on Intel GMA 900
• PCI Express* x16 graphics interface
• Advanced packaging technology and industry-leading electrical
design innovations deliver long-term system reliability over wide
operating conditions
• Direct Media Interface (DMI) chip interconnect can be
implemented x4 or x2 widths, and provides up to 1 GB/s in each
direction in full duplex
• Four USB host controllers provide high-performance peripherals
with 480 Mb/s of bandwidth, while enabling support for up to
eight USB 2.0 ports. This results in a significant increase over
previous integrated one- to four-port hubs at 12 Mb/s
• Four x1 PCI Express ports, fully PCI Express 1.0a-compliant, and
support for full 250 MB/s in each direction
• Intel® High Definition Audio^† (Intel® HD Audio) interface for full
surround sound support
• LAN Connect Interface (LCI) provides flexible network solutions
such as 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet and 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet with
LAN manageability
• Integrated Serial ATA host controller supports two ports and
data transfers up to 1.5 MB/s
