Summary:
845 (Brookdale)
[*]
Sub-versions:
915PL - Cut-down version of 915P with
no support for DDR2 and only supporting
2 GB of memory.
915G (Grantsdale-G)
915P with an integrated GMA 900. This core
contains Pixel Shader version 2.0 only, it does
not contain Vertex Shaders nor does it feature
Transform & Lighting (T&L) capabilities and
therefore is not Direct X 8.1 or 9.0 compliant.

915GL - Same feature reductions as
915PL, but supports 4 GB of memory.
No support for external graphics cards.

A version of the 945P that has a GMA 950
integrated, supports a 1066 MT/s bus.
Sub-versions:
945GZ - Same feature reductions as
945PL but with an integrated GMA 950.
Supports 533/800 MT/s FSB and DDRII at 400/533 MT/s. No support for external graphics cards (some boards, like
Asus P5GZ-MX, support through ICH7
on PCIe 16 @4 lanes mode).
955X (Lakeport)
Update for 925X, with additional features
of Lakeport (e.g., PAT features and ECC
memory), and uses DDR2.

Core 2 chipsets
All Core 2 Duo chipsets support the Pentium DualCore and Celeron processors based on the Core architecture. Support for all NetBurst based processors was ofcially dropped starting with the P35 chipset family.[32]
975X (Glenwood)
Update of 955, with support for ATI Crossre
Dual Graphics systems and 65 nm processors,
including Core 2 Duo.
P965 (Broadwater)
Update on 945P, no native PATA support,
improved memory controller with support for
DDR2 memory up to 800 MHz and ocial
Core 2 Duo support.
G965 (BroadwaterG)
A version of P965 that has a GMA X3000 integrated graphics core.
Q965 (Broadwater)
Expected G965 intended for Intels vPro ofce computing brand, with GMA 3000 graphics instead of GMA X3000 graphics. Supports
an ADD2 card to add a second display.
Sub-versions:
Q963 - Q965 without an external graphics
interface or support for ADD2.
P35 (Bearlake)
The P35 chipset provides updated support for
the new Core 2 Duo E6550, E6750, E6800,
and E6850. Processors with a number ending
in 50 have a 1333 MT/s FSB. Support for
all NetBurst based processors is dropped with
this chipset.[32]
G33 (BearlakeG)[41]
A version of P35 with a GMA 3100 integrated
graphics core and uses an ICH9 South Bridge.
Sub-versions:
G35 - G33 with a GMA x3500 integrated
graphics core and uses an ICH8 South
Bridge, no DDR3 support.[42]

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.[57] Broadwell CPUs are supported only by 9-Series chipsets, which are usually referred to as Wildcat Point.[58]
The C1 stepping of the Lynx Point chipset contains a
bug a 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.[59]

8 Notes
[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 made
only 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 dierent 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
(Intel VT-d).[23] The chipset support for this technology is
not very clear for the moment.[24]
[2] The Intel 82943GML mobile chipset unocially supports
Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, and Pentium Dual Core processors as well as 667 MHz FSB, which is a popular upgrade
for many older notebook computers such as certain models of Acer Aspire 3680.
