Z87 Express Chipset

Intel

Z87 Express Chipset is a single chipset that supports the LGA1150 socket for 4th

generation Intel

Core™ i7/Intel

Core™ i5/Intel

Core™ i3, Pentium

and Celeron

processors. It utilizes the serial point-to-point links, which increases bandwidth and enhances

the system’s performance. It natively supports up to six USB 3.0 ports for up to ten times

faster transfer rate than USB 2.0 and enables the iGPU function for Intel

integrated graphics

performance.

PCI Express

3.0

PCI Express

3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the PCI Express bus standard that provides twice the

performance and speed of PCIe 2.0. It provides an optimal graphics performance,

unprecedented data speed and seamless transition with its complete backward compatibility

to PCIe 1.0/2.0 devices.
