What are the advantages of a single chip over a traditional chipset?

Compare to traditional chipset, single chip design integrates North and South Bridges, which saves one chip and controls the manufacturing cost. The single chip shortens the communication delay between the North and South Bridges, so data transfer is improved. Single-chip design also has its drawbacks, one is the heat generation, the higher requirements of the cooling system, the second is the high degree of integration, the design is relatively complex, and at the same time will increase the difficulty of the motherboard wiring.
