Intel X299, codenamed "Basin Falls", is a Platform Controller Hub (PCH) designed and manufactured by Intel, targeted at the high-end desktop (HEDT) or enthusiast segment of the Intel product lineup. The X299 chipset supports the Intel Core X-series processors, which are codenamed Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X. All supported processors use the LGA 2066 socket. The X299 chipset was released in June 2017, with the Intel Core i9-7900X.

Features

The X299 chipset uses the new Direct Media Interface (DMI) 3.0. 24 PCI Express 3.0 lanes are provided by the chipset, a big step from the X99 chipset's 8 PCI-e 2.0 lanes.

Many features from the X99 chipset are carried over to the X299 chipset.

These include:

M.2
USB 3.0 and 2.0 support
Flexible I/O
VT-d support
SATA Express
Overclocking

However, there is a reduction in the number of SATA ports available, from 10 on X99 to 8 on X299.
