The Intel H510 chipset, a member of the Intel 500 Series Desktop Chipsets lineup codenamed Rocket Lake, caters to the desktop market segment and was officially launched in January 2021. Notably, it maintains a low thermal design power (TDP) of 6W, making it an efficient choice for basic desktop systems. Supporting a bus speed of 8 GT/s, it's optimized for one DIMM per channel configuration, allowing for memory expansion.
Featuring a robust connectivity suite, the H510 chipset provides a total of 10 USB ports, comprising 4 USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 ports (operating at 5Gb/s) and 10 USB 2.0 ports. Additionally, it accommodates up to 4 SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports, catering to storage needs and peripheral connections.
In terms of graphics and expansion capabilities, it supports up to 2 displays and offers PCIe 3.0 configurations, with options for x1, x2, and x4 slots, providing a maximum of 6 PCIe lanes. Furthermore, it integrates the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 for wireless connectivity, enhancing networking capabilities.
Security features include Intel Platform Trust Technology (Intel PTT), contributing to system integrity and data protection. While it doesn't support Intel Optane Memory and lacks certain advanced technologies like Intel Smart Sound Technology or Intel® Trusted Execution Technology, it does incorporate Intel Rapid Storage Technology for efficient storage management and Intel® Boot Guard for enhanced boot process security.
