Hello Men!
These days I'm researching on Ibex-Peak (specially P55) + Lynnfield platform and I got some of big problems!!
As we know :
(i). Each Lynnfield CPU has 16 PCI-Express lanes
(ii). Each Ibex-Peak (P55 PCH) has 16 PCI-Express lanes
(iii). Lynnfield is connected to Ibex-Peak (P55 PCH) with DMI [thats slow for GPUs]
Now questions :
1. When a P55 motherboard has 2 PCI-Express slots they should be provided by Lynnfield CPU not P55 PCH because DMI is slow, right?
2. if "1" is true then why Ibex-Peak (P55 PCH) has 16 PCI-Express lanes?! actually they are dead with DMI!!
3. I found that some of P55 solutions (like Jetway HI05) has three PCI-Express slots, anyone knows about the configuration?!
Thanks in advance ...
