3.1.1 Intel Skylake Processor
Skylake is an Intel core-2015 platform. It is 64 bit, multi core processor built on 14nm process
technology. The H-processor line is offered in a 2-Chip Platform and is connected to a discrete
PCH chip on the motherboard. It is a BGA1440 Package supporting the GT2 and GT4 Graphics
Configuration. E3-1578L v5 processor supports different technologies and it has features like
greater CPU and GPU performance and reduces consumption of power.
3.1.2 Intel Skylake PCH
The H-Processor line of the Skylake is offered in a two chip platform. Platform Controlled Hub
(PCH) is a separate IC along with the E3-1578L v5 processor. PCH controls certain data paths
and support functions used in conjunction with Intel E3-1578L v5 processor. The PCH provides
extensive I/O support.
The following are some of its key features:

ACPI Power Management Logic Support
