A memory controller hub includes a graphics subsystem adapted to perform graphics operations on data, and interface circuitry adapted selectively to couple the graphics subsystem to a local memory through electrical connectors and to couple the memory controller hub to a graphics controller through the electrical connectors.

Improved electromagnetic compatibility for integrated motherboard or device board designs is provided by magnetic shielding, electric shielding, or both integrated into the chip packaging materials. Motherboard emissions may be reduced by use of the shielding. A nonconductive primary and tertiary layer sandwich a high-conductivity metal secondary layer forming a Faraday cage for electric field shielding. A nonconductive primary layer is covered by a tertiary layer formed of a composite having permeable material for magnetic shielding. The tertiary layer formed of a composite could include a high permeability particulate ferrous material. Both the secondary layer and the tertiary layer formed of a composite could be used for both electric and magnetic shielding of chips.
