Intel chipset 200 and 300?

For some reason under device manager there are both 200 and 300 series intel chipsets. Before I installed the 300 series drivers from dell's website, there was only 200 series chipsets but everything was working fine with no errors before and after. Also when I go into properties all of the 200 series devices say that they are working fine but also say that there are no drivers installed. What the hell is going on?


Specs:

Computer Model: Dell Inspiron 5680

Motherboard Chipset: Intel Z370

CPU: Intel Core I7-8700

OS: Fresh installed(Not oem) Windows 10 Home 64-bit

EDIT: I went to the one 300 series driver that was installed from the dell website and clicked update driver to see what would happen. It updated it and now the LPC controller is a 200 series driver. WTF? I also clicked that for the other ones but it said that you already have the best drivers installed. I checked windows update too but there was no driver updates.

My apologies, meant to re-install the 300 chipset driver from intel website after uninstalling deleting the 200 entries in your device manager

Yeah but even when I installed the proper 300 series driver from dell's website, the 200 series ones remain with no driver but no issues either. Also how come my computer still works with the wrong chipset drivers?
