High bandwidth access to data is provided through the system memory port. The GMCH uses a tiling architecture to minimize page miss latencies and thus maximize effective rendering bandwidth.

6.4.13D/2D Instruction Processing

The GMCH contains an extensive set of instructions that control various functions including 3D rendering, BLT operations, display, MPEG decode acceleration, and overlay. The 3D instructions set 3D pipeline states and control the processing functions. The 2D instructions provide an efficient method for invoking BLT operations.
