The Intel G965 Express Chipset is a part of Intel's family of chipsets designed for desktop and mobile systems. Introduced in 2006, the G965 was commonly integrated into motherboards to support Intel Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors. It offered features such as support for DDR2 memory, PCI Express x16 for discrete graphics, and Intel's Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3000 integrated graphics.

The G965 was a significant advancement, providing improved graphics capabilities over previous chipsets. However, its integrated graphics were still considered basic, and it was often paired with dedicated graphics cards for better performance in gaming and graphics-intensive applications. The chipset played a role in mid-range and business-oriented systems, contributing to the overall evolution of Intel's chipset technology.
