Northbridge and Southbridge are mapped areas with some important components of a Motherboard. Quite obviously every computer has a motherboard and therefore these Northbridge and Southbridge. Almost a year ago, we published an article – Components of a motherboard. With increasing integration of important and frequently used interfaces, many parts has been integrated into the chipset. You think the basic circuitry of the chipset as a map – Northbridge is in the north and the southbridge in the south. These names Northbridge and Southbridge ?were originally introduced by Intel.

 

Position of the Northbridge and Southbridge on a Motherboard

 

As we have said – Northbridge is in the north and the southbridge in the south. But the basic question is – which side is North. As the Processor or CPU is taken as the most important component, the side where the CPU is, is taken as the North. So, our Northbridge is situated to the closest southern part of the Processor and Southbridge is in the extreme South – usually where all the important ports are situated.
