Enterprise server manufacturers differentiate their systems by designing and developing chipsets that interface the processor to memory, interconnections, and peripheral controllers.
The southbridge typically implements the slower capabilities of the motherboard in a northbridge/southbridge chipset computer architecture.
The x86 chipset market was very volatile though.
One is in theory limited to chipset buses similar to the 68000.
Marvell doesn't provide a lot of information for these chipsets on their website.
Some chipsets though do not even utilize the 16-bit width used by the processors.
The chipset is the heart of the system-level architecture for each system design.
The exact chipset and implementation differed depending on the model and time of release (while maintaining software compatibility).
