Intel® Q65 Express Chipset

The Intel® Q65 Express Chipset is a business-oriented platform designed to deliver advanced manageability, security, and performance features for desktop computing in corporate environments. As part of the Intel 6 Series Chipset family, the Q65 is engineered to work seamlessly with second-generation Intel Core processors, providing a stable and efficient foundation for business-class desktop systems.

One key feature of the Q65 chipset is Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT), which enables remote management and maintenance of desktops. AMT facilitates out-of-band management capabilities, allowing IT professionals to monitor, diagnose, and repair systems even when the operating system is inactive or the system is powered off.

Security is a top priority for business users, and the Q65 chipset addresses this with Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (TXT). This technology helps create a secure computing environment by isolating sensitive operations from the rest of the system, preventing malware attacks and enhancing overall system integrity.

The Q65 chipset supports Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x), contributing to improved virtualization performance and efficiency. This is particularly beneficial in corporate environments where virtualization is widely utilized for server consolidation and efficient resource allocation.

For storage, the Q65 integrates Serial ATA (SATA) 3Gb/s interfaces, supporting a variety of storage devices such as hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs). RAID configurations enhance data protection and reliability, critical for business-critical applications.

Intel® Flexible Display Interface (FDI) is included in the Q65, allowing flexible connectivity to integrated graphics. This feature provides support for multiple displays and aids in multi-monitor productivity setups.

Additionally, the Q65 chipset incorporates Intel® Stable Image Platform Program (SIPP) to ensure a stable and consistent platform for a predetermined period. This is advantageous for businesses seeking uniformity and stability in their computing infrastructure.
