Core i5 family logical view

Hi,

I'm a newbie in this forum...

I've a new laptop based on Core i5 - 2450M processor (Sandy Bridge) running Win 7....

Now I've seen that PCI details (e.g. using !pci into Windbg) show the integrated DRAM controller in processor die (NorthBridge ?) as (from a SW configuration point of view) the PCI device Bus0, Device 0 Function 0

So these newer architectures (e.g. Sandy Bridge) share the same logical view (PCI logical bus and so on...) of the older ones ? (based on processor + MCH chipsets)

Thanks in advance
