So correct me if I am wrong. Enthusiast level of hardware is top top top of the line. Not "GAMING" or "SERVER" or some special hardware. But simply top of the line stuff. I mean X58 to latest X299 they're all designed to Enthusiast level CPUs. Now I am researching my next board X399 and Anandtech calling Z390 Enthusiast and X399 High-End. What I am missing. Last time I was building my system X99 Edition 10 by ASUS and at first 5930 and then 6950 CPU and all of that is Enthusiast level hardware. Again I don't care for names really I am just trying to understand logic. So Z is that "shit to get" now ? Or it's still X and Anand just messing with us.

This is a great article about next Chipsets....

I have no idea, I still look at x58 x79 x99 and x299 as being enthusiast and Z chipsets as main stream on Intel anyway. Andtech may be just saying that as 6 cores 12 threaded CPU's are still sorta new to the Mainstream platforms, and my the 390 name makes it sound enthusiast to them, not sure.
