Just as with physical computers, virtual machines are built around a central chipset. Just as with physical computers, virtual machines are built around a central chipset.
These virtual chipsets are routinely updated. If no version of a chipset is defined, it is the latest that will be used.
There are three main chipsets, `i440fx`, `Q35` and the more recent `virt`.
