Intel Chipset Identification Utility

As its name suggests, Intel Chipset Identification Utility is a lightweight, yet handy tool that provides you with a simple method for detecting the specific Intel chipset that your system is using.

Providing support for versions later than Intel 900 series chipset family, the application comes in handy if you want to determine whether your computer supports Intel's graphic drivers or other software, such as the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility or the Intel Application Accelerator.

As it does not provide any other functionality than detecting the chipset family located on your computer's motherboard, the graphical interface of the program is simple and clean, only comprising a section where the chipset type is displayed.

It automatically detects the installed chipset components. For instance, it can display information about the platform component hub, the memory controller, the I/O controller or the integrated graphics. You can access the appropriate support content from within the application.

It is worth mentioning that Intel Chipset Identification Utility is not designed to detect the processor type, but it only gives you an idea of the motherboard chipset type.

One of its advantages is that it does not require installation, thus it does not affect your system registry in any way.

Intel Chipset Identification Utility comes in handy for users of Intel computers, allowing them to find out the motherboard chipset type. Although you can also do this using the Windows Device Manager, this application offers you an faster and easier alternative.
