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

- 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)
- Similar to E7205, but adds support for 800 MHz bus, DDR at 400 MHz, Communications Streaming Architecture (CSA), Serial ATA (with RAID in certain configurations) and Performance Acceleration Technology (PAT), a mode deigned to cut down memory latency.
- 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 only supports 533 MHz bus and 333 MHz memory.
- 848P - Single memory channel version of 865PE.
- 865G (Springdale-G)
- 865PE with integrated graphics. 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. In spite of the different names, there is no difference between the E7520 and .
- 855PM (Odem)
- Similar feature-set to desktop 845E chipset, but optimised for low-power usage, in combination with the Pentium-M. Also has a CSA bus for the wireless chipset component.
- 855GM (Montara-GM)
- 855PM with added graphics core (same design as 865G). Also has the capability to use an external AGP card.
- Sub-versions:
- 855GME - Supports 333 MHz memory.
- 460GX
- 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.
9xx Chipsets
Pentium 4/D/XE Chipsets
- 915P (Grantsdale)
- Supports Pentium 4 on an 800 MHz bus. Uses DDR memory up to 400 MHz, or DDR-II 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 with two hard drives.
- Sub-versions:
- 915PL - Cut-down version of 915P with no support for DDR-II and only supporting 2GB of memory.
- 915G (Grantsdale-G)
- 915P with an integrated graphics core. The core is compliant with Vertex and Pixel shader versions 2.0, and has similar functionality to GeForce FX 5200 and Radeon 9600, though it does not have Transform & Lighting (T&L) features.
- Sub-versions:
- 915GL - Same feature reductions as 915PL.
- 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.
- 945G (Lakeport-G)
- A version of the 945P with a faster integrated graphics core than 915G.
- Sub-versions:
- 945GZ - Does not support an external graphics card.
- 955X (Glenwood)
- Update for 925X, with additonal features of "Lakeport" eg. PAT features and ECC memory, and uses DDR2.
- 975X (Glenwood)
- Update of 955X, with support for ATI Crossfire Dual Graphics solutions and 65nm Processors
- 910GML
- 910GMZ
- 915PM (Alviso)
- Mobile equivalent to 915P chipset.
- 915GM (Alviso-GM)
- Mobile equivalent to 915G chipset
- 945PM/GM (Napa/Calistoga)
Note: Officially, no 9xx chipset can have its FSB adjusted more than 10% outside of "normal" values (i.e. 533 MHz, 800 MHz and 1066 MHz). Some manufacturers have managed to circumvent this feature.
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 Socket 8 Pentium Pro or Slot 1 Pentium II.
