From Whatis.com (http://searchsmb.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,290660,sid44_gci211781,00.html):

A chipset is a group of integrated circuits (microchips) that can be used together to serve a single function and are therefore manufactured and sold as a unit. For example, one chipset might combine all the microchips needed to serve as the communications controller between a processor and memory and other devices in a computer.
