Introduction

1 Introduction

AMD’s SB710 is a Southbridge that integrates key I/O, communication, and audio features required in a

state-of-the-art PC into a single device. Over and beyond the features supported by the SB700, the

SB710 also supports a number of hardware monitoring features and AMD’s Advanced Clock Calibration

utility. It is specifically designed to operate with AMD’s integrated graphics processors (IGPs) and

Northbridges in desktop and mobile PCs.
