List of Intel chipsets
Wikimedia list article
This article provides a list of motherboard chipsets made by Intel, divided into three main categories: those that use the PCI bus for interconnection (the 4xx series), those that connect using specialized "hub links" (the 8xx series), and those that connect using PCI Express (the 9xx series). 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:
the 8284 clock generator
the 8288 bus controller
the 8254 programmable interval timer
the 8255 parallel I/O interface
the 8259 programmable interrupt controller
the 8237 DMA controller
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 82230/82231 High Integration AT-Compatible Chip Set). 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.
List of early Intel chipset includes:
82077AA CHMOS Single-Chip Floppy Disk Controller for the 32-bit systems.
82091AA EISA/ISA – Advanced Integrated Peripheral (AIP), includes: floppy disk controller, 2× UARTs, parallel port, IDE controller, oscillator, etc.
82310 MCA family chipset – announced in April 1988.
“List of Intel chipsets” enters the record as wikimedia list article. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what List, Intel and chipsets can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“List of Intel chipsets” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, List, Intel and chipsets provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1665554. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1988.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
- Subject orientation
- Search vocabulary
- Locating named sources
The closest primary source, responsible institution and strongest cited specialist reference.
Three-step research path
