hey ,guys

I was wondering about the naming of intel chipsets
Like "B85" what does the "B" and the numbers stand for ?
and "Z87" what does the "Z" and the numbers stand for too ?
and so on with "H81" and the "Q87" what does they stand for ?

thanks

Enthusiast is the highest grade. People who build machines as a hobby are typically referred to as enthusiasts, and as they tend to get the very latest, top of the line equipment, thats what they call the grade. I don't know if that is "official" or not but thats what people call it.
