Intel 9 series

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Intel 9 series is a series of motherboard chipsets from Intel and the successor to the Intel 8 series . The chipset series bears the code name "Wildcat Point" and is a further development of the Intel 8 series and is downward compatible with them. The chips support processors of the Haswell and Broadwell generations. The successor is the Intel 100 series .

description

The series consists of two chips, the H97 being assigned to the mainstream area and the Z97 to the performance area. The chipsets essentially correspond to their predecessors H87 and Z87, but have a newer Intel Management Engine firmware (9.1). The chips support two parallel PCI Express 2.0 connections. They are designed to work better with hybrid hard drives.

Only the HM97 chipset has been released as a mobile version.
