the ?8? chipsets are current, for the Haswell family processors (core
I?-4???). The ?7? chips are for the prior Ivy Bridge, core i?-3???.
I believe the 6 is for the Sandy Bridge, a couple years ago, core i?-xxx
(3 digit numbers). My Ivy Bridge Core I5-3670 is in a Z77 based
motherboard.
the Zxx chipsets are the top line, have the best performance, and most
ports and features. The H and Q are budget/economy versions, with
fewer IO channels, lower performance.
