Northbridge
Perth entertainment district
Northbridge is a component in computer architecture that connects the CPU to high-speed components like RAM and graphics cards.
It works alongside the southbridge, which handles slower peripherals.
The north/south naming reflects their typical positions on motherboard diagrams.
In modern processors, northbridge functions are often integrated directly into the CPU.
