Short for I/O Controller Hub, ICH is an implementation of the Accelerated Hub Architecture (ACHA), often referred to as the Southbridge, a reference to the older, three-tier chipset design. It is the slower end of the ACHA, and most I/O devices are connected to the hub through it. [Image Source: INSIDE THE PC, Nigel S. Smith, University of Cambridge Computing Service]
