Yep, that's it: one chip. It's not really a chipset, is it? Intel calls this slice of silicon the P55 Express Platform Controller Hub, or PCH. The chip is fabbed using 65-nano process technology, and it's tiny. According to my ruler, the PCH measures just 8.5 x 9 mm for a total die area of around 76.5 mm².
