-# Emulated chipsets
+# Virtual chipsets
 
-## Description
+Just as physical computers, virtual machines are build around a central chipset. 
 
-> There are two kinds of emulated chipsets that are currently supported by Phyllome OS: `i440fx` and `Q35`. Eventually, the `virt` model, which ships alongside the Cloud Hypervisor, will also be supported.

+## Available chipsets for virtual machines
 
-| **Support** | i440fx | Q35 | virt |
+### i440fx
+
+The `i440fx` virtual chipset is a legacy chipset, compatible with PCI.
+
+### Q35
+
+The `Q35` virtual chipset is based on a modern chipset, compatible with PCI-Express.
+
+### virt
+
+The `virt` virtual chipset is the most modern chipset, compatible with PCI-Express. It only supports [virtio-devices](/virt/vm/virtio).

-> To be created and populated. It would be great to talk about these virtual chipsets versions (now there is the `Q35 6.1`). is there any breaking changes between revisions?
