Sandy Bridge Chipsets
5 minutes ago, RadiatingLight said:As a fairly new techie, I don't remember when sandy bridge was released, and have no Idea what socket it was on, what chipset it used, etc.
I was looking at Wikipedia to learn about Intel chipsets, when I saw this fairly confusing chart of sandy bridge chipsets. is Wikipedia wrong, or did this confusing chipset exist?
What I find confusing:
The Z68 Chipset doesn't match up with the naming scheme of the rest of intel's Z series chipsets
the Z68 Chipset is listed as not having PCI, which other, non-Z boards have.
H67 supported integrated graphics but not overclocking
P67 supported overclocking but not integrated graphics
Z68 supported both overclocking and integrated graphics
Z77 was released the following year with Ivy Bridge, but still supports Sandy Bridge CPUs, and supports both overclocking and integrated graphics like Z68, and also added support for 4 native USB 3.0 ports.
All of these chipsets support 2 native SATA 6 Gb/s ports and 4 native SATA 3 Gb/s ports.
Q chipsets are used in laptops.
