List of Intel chipsets


This article provides a list of motherboard chipsets made by Intel, divided into three main categories: those that use the PCI bus for interconnection, those that connect using specialized "hub links", and those that connect using PCI Express. The chipsets are listed in chronological order.

Pre-chipset situation

An earlier chipset support for Intel 8085 microprocessor can be found at MCS-85 family section.
Early IBM XT-compatible mainboards did not yet have a chipset, but relied instead on a collection of discrete TTL chips by Intel:

Early chipsets

To integrate the functions needed on a mainboard into a smaller number of ICs, Intel licensed the ZyMOS POACH chipset for its Intel 80286 and Intel 80386SX processors. The 82230 covers this combination of chips: 82C284 clock, 82288 bus controller, and dual 8259A interrupt controllers among with other components. The 82231 covers this combination of chips: 8254 interrupt timer, 74LS612 memory mapper and dual 8237A DMA controller among with other components. Both set were available US$60 for 10 MHz version and US$90 for 12 MHz version in quantities of 100. This chipset can be used with an 82335 High-integration Interface Device to provide support for the Intel 386SX.

The 975X chipset supports only ×16 PCI Express in the top slot when the slot below it is unpopulated. Otherwise it and the lower slot operate at ×8 electrically.
Only later revisions of the 975X chipset boards support Core 2 processors. See MSI 975X Platinum rev 1.0, and MSI 975X Platinum Powerup revision rev 2.1 as example. source: https://web.archive.org/web/20210515170458/http://ixbtlabs.com/articles2/mainboard/msi-975x-platinum-powerup-edition-i975x.html

Officially 975X supports a maximum of 1066 MT/s FSB. Unofficially, third-party motherboards support certain 1333FSB 45 nm Core2 processors, usually with later BIOS updates.

As for Celeron and Celeron D support, some boards and revisions support it, some not. and Tyan boards. VT-d is broken or non existent on some boards until the BIOS is updated. Note that VT-d is a chipset Memory Controller Hub technology, not a processor feature, but this is complicated by later processor generations moving the MCH from the motherboard to the processor package, making only certain I series CPUs support VT-d.

Core 2 mobile chipsets

  • 1 Unofficially this chipset support 5 GB.
  • 2 Officially only 4 GB is supported. Unofficially many laptops with this chipset support 8 GB.
  • 3 Low power mode, HD playback mode and Full performance mode respectively.

5/6/7/8/9 Series chipsets

The Nehalem microarchitecture moves the memory controller into the processor. For high-end Nehalem processors, the X58 IOH acts as a bridge from the QPI to PCI Express peripherals and DMI to the ICH10 southbridge. For mainstream and lower-end Nehalem processors, the integrated memory controller is an entire northbridge, and the PCH (Platform Controller Hub) acts as a southbridge.

LGA 1156

Chipsets supporting LGA 1156 CPUs.
Not listed below is the 3450 chipset which is compatible with Nehalem mainstream and high-end processors but does not claim core iX-compatibility. With either a Core i5 or i3 processor, the 3400-series chipsets enable the ECC functionality of UDIMM ECC memory. Otherwise these chipsets do not enable unbuffered ECC functionality.

LGA 1155

Chipsets supporting LGA 1155 CPUs. The PCIe 2.0 lanes from the PCH ran at 5 GT/s in this series, unlike in the previous LGA 1156 chips.
The Cougar Point Intel 6 series chipsets with stepping B2 were recalled due to a hardware bug that causes their 3 Gbit/s Serial ATA to degrade over time until they become unusable. Stepping B3 of the Intel 6 series chipsets will have the fix for this. The Z68 chipset which supports CPU overclocking and use of the integrated graphics does not have this hardware bug, however all other ones with B2 did. The Z68 also added support for transparently caching hard disk data on to solid-state drives, a technology called Smart Response Technology.
  • 1 For Sandy Bridge mainstream desktop and business platforms. Sandy Bridge CPUs provide 16 PCIe 2.0 lanes for direct GPU connectivity.
  • 2 For Ivy Bridge mainstream desktop platform. Ivy Bridge CPUs provide 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes for direct GPU connectivity and additional 4 PCIe 2.0 lanes.

LGA 1150

Chipsets that support LGA 1150 CPUs are listed below. Haswell and Haswell Refresh CPUs are supported by all listed chipsets; however, a BIOS update is usually required for 8-Series Lynx Point motherboards to support Haswell Refresh CPUs. Broadwell CPUs are supported only by 9-Series chipsets, which are usually referred to as Wildcat Point.
The C1 stepping of the Lynx Point chipset contains a buga system could lose connectivity with USB devices plugged into USB 3.0 ports provided by the chipset if the system enters the S3 sleep mode.

LGA 1366, LGA 2011, and LGA 2011-v3

Single socket chipsets supporting LGA 1366, LGA 2011, and LGA 2011-v3 CPUs. Please consult List of Intel Xeon chipsets for further, multi-socket, chipsets for these sockets.
  • 1 X58 South Bridge is ICH10/ICH10R.
  • 2 X58 TDP includes the X58 IOH TDP in addition to the ICH10/ICH10R TDP.
  • 3 For Sandy Bridge enthusiast desktop platform. Sandy Bridge CPUs will provide up to 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes for direct GPU connectivity and additional 4 PCIe 2.0 lanes. NOTE : This reference number 4 is on X79, which is a Sandy bridge -E, not Sandy Bridge, and PCIe 3.0 only is enabled when an Ivy Bridge-E CPU or Xeon E-5 series is used.
  • 4 For Haswell enthusiast desktop platform. Haswell CPUs will provide up to 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes for direct GPU connectivity and additional 4 PCIe 2.0 lanes.

LGA 2066

Chipsets supporting LGA 2066 socket for Skylake-X processors and Kaby Lake-X processors.
The C621 Chipset also supports LGA 3647 socket for Skylake-SP as well as Cascade Lake-W and Cascade Lake-SP processors.

Dedicated mobile chipsets

All Core-i series mobile chipsets have an integrated south bridge.

On-package mobile chipsets

Every 4th Generation Intel Core and 5th Generation Intel Core processor based on Mobile U-Processor and Y-Processor Lines has an on-package Platform Controller Hub.

100/200/300 Series chipsets

LGA 1151 rev 1

The 100 Series chipsets, for Skylake processors using the LGA 1151 socket, were released in the third quarter of 2015.
The 200 Series chipsets were introduced along with Kaby Lake processors, which also use the LGA 1151 socket; these were released in the first quarter of 2017.

LGA 1151 rev 2

While Coffee Lake shares the same socket as Skylake and Kaby Lake, this revision of LGA 1151 is electrically incompatible with 100 and 200 series CPUs.
The 300 Series chipsets were introduced along with Coffee Lake processors, which use the LGA 1151 socket; the enthusiast model was released in the last quarter of 2017, the rest of the line was released in 2018.

Xeon chipsets

C232 and C242 chipsets do not support CPU integrated GPUs, as they lack FDI support. Officially they support only Xeon processors, but some motherboards also support consumer processors.

400/500 Series chipsets

LGA 1200

LGA 1200 is a CPU socket designed for Comet Lake and Rocket Lake desktop CPUs. Like its predecessors, LGA 1200 has the same number of pins its name would suggest: 1200. Under the hood, LGA 1200 is a modified version of LGA 1151, its predecessor. It features 49 additional protruding pins that are used to improve power delivery and provide support for eventual updates with I/O features.
  • Connection to the CPU will be reduced to DMI 3.0 ×4 if a Comet Lake CPU is installed. DMI 3.0 ×8 is only available with Rocket Lake CPUs.
  • Mainboards advertised as H410 and B460 with Rocket Lake support use other 400-series chipsets.

600/700 Series chipsets

Dedicated mobile chipsets

Every 12th Gen and 13th Gen Intel Core-i mobile CPU excluding HX-series has an on-package Platform Controller Hub.

800 Series chipsets

Dedicated mobile chipsets
