# 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).

## Dedicated page (upcoming)
> 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?
> The *`i440fx` and `Q35` chipsets are currently supported by Phyllome OS. Early support for the `virt` model is expected for the Beta version*
