Intel has released many chipsets over the years to support their CPUs, starting with the MCS-4 chipset in 1971. Major chipsets included the 80486 chipset in 1992 which was the first to support PCI, and various Pentium chipsets in the 1990s which supported features like PCI 2.0, SDRAM memory and AGP. Chipsets then supported newer instructions sets with the Pentium 4 in 2000, Core 2 Duo in 2006 and newer chipsets supporting DDR2 memory, SATA 3Gb/s and higher FSB speeds. Recent enthusiast chipsets provide support for multi-CPU configurations and overclocking features.

The trend extended to Intel's first MCS-4 16-bit processor, the 8086, and 1971 the MCS-86 chipset also contained four-bit processor several chips, some of which were MCS-4 (Micro Controller Set optional. The MCS-86 had one key 4) chipset. The MCS-4 change: the addition of Intel's first contained three other parts: FPU co-processor, known as the the 4001 ROM chip, 4002 8087. The FPU is also now a common core component of most RAM chip, and the 4003 modern CPUs.
