q35 machine type
A QEMU chipset model based on Intel’s ICH9 platform
Core Idea
q35 machine type is A QEMU chipset model based on Intel’s ICH9 platform. It exposes PCIe slots, TPM hooks, and ACPI features that Windows 10/11 expect, whereas the legacy i440fx lacks many of those capabilities. It usually makes the most sense alongside OVMF, VirtIO drivers, Virtual TPM.
