==Well-known types==

One of the best known PICs, the [[Intel 8259|8259A]], was included in the [[x86 architecture|x86]] PC. In modern times, this is not included as a separate chip in an x86 PC, but rather as part of the motherboard's [[Southbridge (computing)|southbridge]] chipset.<ref>{{Cite web| title=82371AB PCI-TO-ISA / IDE Xcelerator (PIIX4) | url=https://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/290562.pdf {{Bare URL| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090203012354/http://www.intel.com:80/Assets/PDF/datasheet/290562.pdf | archive-date=March 20222009-02-03}}</ref> In other cases, it has been replaced by the newer [[Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller]]s which support more interrupt outputs and more flexible priority schemas.
