The Intel(R) Serial IO GPIO Host Controller - INT3450 is a device driver that supports the Intel Serial I/O (Input/Output) interface, specifically for General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) functions. GPIO is a type of interface that allows software to interact with hardware components, such as buttons, LEDs, sensors, or other electronics connected to your system. The driver helps the operating system communicate with the Serial IO hardware, enabling it to manage the GPIO functionality.

Typically, the Intel Serial IO GPIO Host Controller is used on Intel-based systems, particularly those with newer chipsets that include Serial IO support (such as Intel’s 10th generation or later processors). This driver is needed for correct operation of devices and features that rely on GPIO functions.
