List of Intel chipsets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a list of motherboard chipsets made by Intel. It is divided into three main categories: those that use the PCI bus for interconnection (the 4x0 series), those that connect using specialized "Hub Links" (the 8xx and Exxxx series) and those that connect using PCI Express (the 9xx series). The chipsets are listed in chronological order.

[edit] Early chipsets

Intel licensed ZyMOS POACH chipset for Intel 80286 and Intel 80386SX processors.

List of early Intel chipset includes:[1]

  • 82350 EISA
  • 82350DT EISA
  • 82310 MCA
  • 82340SX PC AT
  • 82340DX PC AT
  • 82320 MCA
  • 80360SL was a chipset for the mobile 80386SL and 80486SL processors. It integrated DMA controller, an interrupt controller PIC, serial and parallel ports, and power-management logic for the processor.

  • E7500 (Plumas)
    • Similar feature set to 860, but uses dual-channel DDR, and has support for PCI-X, but not AGP.
    • Sub-versions:
      • E7501 - Mostly the same as E7500, but with support for 533 MHz bus and USB 2.0.
      • E7505 (Placer) - E7501 with AGP 8x.
  • E7205 (Granite Bay)
    • Workstation chipset, supports AGP 8x and dual-channel DDR. Other features are the same as 845PE.
  • 875P (Canterwood)
  • 865PE (Springdale)
    • 875P without PAT, though it was possible to enable PAT in some early revisions. Also lacks ECC Memory support.
    • Sub-versions:
      • 865P - The same as 865PE, but supports only 533 MHz bus and 333 MHz memory.
      • 848P - Single memory channel version of 865PE.
  • 865G (Springdale-G)
    • 865PE with integrated graphics (Intel Extreme Graphics 2). PAT never supported in any revisions.
    • Sub-versions:
      • 865GL - 865G without external AGP slot.
  • E7525 (Tumwater)
    • Dual Xeon, supports an 800 MHz bus, PCI Express and DDR-II. Other features are the same as 875/865.
    • Sub-versions:
      • E7520/E7320 (Lindenhurst) - Same feature-set as E7525, but has the PCI Express links set out in a way better suited to servers than workstations. The E7520 and E7320 chipsets are functionally equivalent, but the E7320 has fewer I/O ports [1].

[edit] Itanium Chipsets

  • 460GX
    • Chipset for the original Itanium. A 4x0 series chipset in name, but actually uses "expander buses", similar in design to Hub-Link. Supports Quad-Channel 100 MHz SDRAM and PCI-X.
  • E8870
    • Supports 400 MHz bus on Itanium 2. Memory interface is natively Quad-Channel 800 MHz RDRAM, but uses Memory Repeater Hubs to support DDR memory.

1 Lakeport chipsets lacks support for remapping memory; the size of addressable memory space may be less than 4GB, regardless whether the processor operates in 64-bit mode.

  • 915P (Grantsdale)
    • Supports Pentium 4 on an 800 MHz bus. Uses DDR memory up to 400 MHz, or DDR2 at 533 MHz. Replaces AGP and CSA with PCI Express, and also supports "Matrix RAID", a RAID mode designed to allow the usage of RAID levels 0 and 1 simultaneously with two hard drives. (Normally RAID1+0 would have required four hard drives)
    • Sub-versions:
      • 915PL - Cut-down version of 915P with no support for DDR2 and only supporting 2GB of memory.
  • 915G (Grantsdale-G)
    • 915P with an integrated GMA 900. The core is compliant with Vertex and Pixel shader versions 2.0, and has similar functionality to GeForce FX 5200 64bit and Radeon 9100 IGP, though it does not have Transform & Lighting (T&L) features.
    • Sub-versions:
      • 915GL - Same feature reductions as 915PL, but supports 4GB of memory. No support for external graphics cards.
      • 915GV - Same as 915G, but has no way of adding an external graphics card.
      • 910GL - No support for external graphics cards or 800 MHz bus.
  • 925X (Alderwood)
    • Higher end version of 915. Supports another PAT-like mode and ECC memory, and exclusively uses DDR-II RAM.
    • Sub-versions:
      • 925XE - Supports a 1066 MHz bus.
  • 945P (Lakeport)
    • Update on 915P, with support for Serial ATA II, RAID mode 5, an improved memory controller with support for DDR-II at 667 MHz and additional PCI-Express lanes. Support for DDR-I is dropped. Formal dual-core support was added to this chipset.
    • Sub-versions:
      • 945PL - No support for 1066 MHz bus, only supports 2GB of memory.
  • 945G (Lakeport-G)
    • A version of the 945P that has a GMA 950 integrated , supports a 1066 MHz bus.
    • Sub-versions:
      • 945GZ - Same feature reductions as 945PL but with an integrated . No support for external graphics cards.
  • 955X (Glenwood)
    • Update for 925X, with additional features of "Lakeport" eg. PAT features and ECC memory, and uses DDR2.

[edit] Nehalem Chipsets

The Nehalem architecture, which is the basis of the Core i7 brand and projected additional brands, moves the memory controller onto 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 low-end Nehalems, the integrated memory controller (IMC) is an entire northbridge (some even having GPUs), and the PCH acts as a southbridge. There is currently no ECC support.

[edit] Notes

Note 1: The Pentium Pro, Pentium II/III, and the Celerons based on them are essentially the same design with minor internal revisions and varying cache designs. Because of this, the same chipset can be used for Socket 8, Socket 370, Slot 1, or Slot 2 designs with any CPU in the P6 family. In practice however, newer chipset designs are usually only made for the newer processor packages, and older ones may not be updated to accommodate for recent package designs. In addition, certain chipsets may be implemented in motherboards with different processor packages, much like how the 440FX could be used either with a Pentium Pro (Socket 8) or Pentium II (Slot 1). A new feature for the latest Intel chipsets is hardware virtualization support(VT-d)[6]. The chipset support for this technology is not very clear for the moment[7].
