Triton

{Intel}'s {Pentium} {core} logic {chip set}. In

addition to the traditional features, this chip set supports:

{EDO DRAM} to increase the {bandwidth} of the {DRAM}

interface; "{pipelined} {burst SRAM}" for a cheaper, faster

{second level cache}; "{bus master} {IDE}" control logic to

reduce processor load; a plug and play port for easy

implementation of functions such as audio.

The Triton I chipset (official name 82430FX) consists of 4

chips: one 82437FX TSC (Triton Sysetm Controller), two 82438FX

TDP (Triton Data Path), and one 82371FB PIIX (PCI IDE

Xcellerator). It supports {PB Cache}, {EDO DRAM}, and a

maximum {PCI} and memory burst data transfer rate of 100

{megabytes} per second.

There are also {Moble Triton} (82430MX), {Triton II}

(82430HX), and the {Triton VX} (82430VX) chip sets.
