#Mobile intel 4 series express chipset family benchmark full
For the 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes that are available from all Skylake-S CPUs, the Z170 chipset has the ability to split up the lanes two or three ways which allows for the use of multiple video cards or simply more PCIe devices to be directly connected to the CPU as long as they do not need to run at full x16 speeds. The CPU PCIe lanes are used primarily for graphics cards and other add-on PCIe devices. Modern Intel-based systems actually have two sets of PCIe lanes: one from the CPU and one from the chipset. The second major difference is in regards to the PCIe lanes. The first and most commonly known difference is the fact that the Z170 chipset fully supports CPU overclocking, while the H-series chipsets do not. There are a large number of differences between the three consumer chipsets, but we have marked what should be the most important for the average consumer in red.
**This represents roughly how many PCI-E devices (LAN, USB, Thunderbolt, etc.) are able to use the available chipset PCI-E lanes Features *In addition to the 16 PCI-E 3.0 lanes from the CPU Consumer Chipsets (Z170, H170, H110) Specifications
With the move to the new Skylake-S CPUs, all of these chipsets have some large changes over their predecessors, such as the move the DDR4 and many other things we covered in our Z170 vs Z97: What is the Difference? article, but they also have a couple of key ways in which they differ from each other. In addition to the Z170 chipset, there are now five other consumer chipsets available: the H170 and H110 for consumers and the B150, Q150, and Q170 for business. This article was originally published on the Puget blog. Matt Bach is the head of Puget Labs and has been part of Puget Systems, a boutique builder of gaming and workstation PCs, since the early days. The Z170 chipset has been available for some time now, but due to Intel's staggered launch of Skylake-S the other chipsets from this generation have just recently become available.
