The X299 (2017) PCH certainly still has the proper DMAC for LPC[1]. The first series you see lacking a DMAC core (or, at least one compatible with LPC/ISA DMA) is the consumer 200 series of PCHs[2]. And it was fully gone by the 300 series[3]. It would seem that something in the switchover to the new streamed Intel HDA DMA architecture or going from DMI2.0->DMI3.0 left the functionality to the wayside.

- userbinator 4y agoThe X299 (2017) PCH certainly still has the proper DMAC for LPC[1]. That's a link to a CPU datasheet. The X299 datasheet is your second link, which you can see mentions "LPC 24 MHz, No DMA" on page 19. (I hope I'm not talking to a GPT here.)
- nebula8804 4y agoWhat about on the AMD side. Is there still any compatibility there?
