The Intel i810 chipset was release by Intel in early 1999 as a platform for the P6-based Socket 370 CPU series, including the Pentium III and Celeron processors. Some motherboard designs include Slot 1 for older Intel CPUs or a combination of both Socket 370 and Slot 1. It targeted the low-cost segment of the market, offering a robust platform for uniprocessor budget systems. The 810 was Intel's first chipset design based around a hub architecture which was claimed to offer better I/O throughput.
