Why do Intel QPI chipsets have memory specifications?
In modern Intel architectures where QPI replaces FSB, the RAM memory interfaces directly to the CPU. If this is a fact, why do chipsets designed for such architectures have RAM memory interface specifications? Shouldn't only the CPU be connected to RAM? As an example, see H81 Chipset.
