**Who made the first chip set?
By the criteria of (2.) in 'Definition of a chip set' many sources
state this to be the Chips and Technologies NEAT chip set. I don't
know why this is stated as it is most definitely incorrect. The CS8221
NEW Enhanced AT (NEAT) chip set consisting of the chips;
82C211/82C212/82C215/82C206 was as far as I can establish, first
released sometime in 1986.
C&T itself have an earlier chip set called the CS8220 PC/AT compatible
Chip Set, and consists of the following chips; 82C201/82C202/
82A203/82A204/82A205. It was first available in OCT-85. (see:C&T>
CS8220>Notes for further info.)
That is, AFAIK, the first motherboard chip set from C&T and AFAIK the
worlds first chip set that meets the criteria of (2.). However C&T did
already have on the market their popular EGA chip set, but that isn't
a motherboard chip set.
By the criteria of (1.), IBM, or Intel, see IBM>PC/XT chip set.
Another pre-'86 chipset is the Faraday FE2010. The datasheet includes
a schematic on the very last page dated 11/22/85. This only indicates
the chip set was on paper at that date. An acutal release date has not
been found.

**82c801 SCWB2 DX Single Chip Solution c:92
***Notes:...
***Info:
The 82C801 SCWB2 can be summarized in four words: integration,
performance, features and reliability. The best value for the
OEM/system house.
The SCWB2 is the result of an engineering team driven by the need to
provide the fastest, most reliable solutions in the smallest, most
cost effective package and having complete confidence in compatibility
and reliability of the product. With a feature set that doesn't take a
back seat to any solution in the market.
From the 50 MHz Write back Cache to complete local bus support, this
chip is everything a system designer needs to provide his customer
with state-of-the-art solutions for high performance PCs in the market
today - and for some time to come.
The SCWB2 is designed for the OEM/system house who needs a single
chip, local bus, lightning performance, design flexibility, 8 banks,
quick-to-market, and cost effectiveness.
