C7SIM-Q User’s Manual
1-2 Chipset Overview
The C7SIM-Q supports the Intel® Core
TM
i7, Core i5, Core i3 and Pentium
®
proces-
sor series for the LGA 1156 socket. Built upon the functionality and the capability
of the single-chip Intel Q57 Express chipset, the C7SIM-Q motherboard provides
the performance and feature set required for single-processor-based systems with
conguration options optimized for Small Ofce/Home Ofce (SOHO) computing
platforms.
The high-speed Direct Media Interface (DMI) featured in the Intel Q57 chipset
enables the C7SIM-Q motherboard to offer a high-speed Direct Media Interface
(DMI) for chip-to-chip true isochronous communication with the processor. This
feature allows the motherboard to achieve up to 10 Gb/s of software-transparent
data transfer on each direction, achieving better performance than comparable
systems. The C7SIM-Q also features Function Disable, Intruder Detect, and a TCO
timer to enable the system to recover from a software/hardware lock.
