RE <<<The chipset makers sell their chipsets to motherboard makers who sell their motherboards to OEMs.>>>

I always knew the CPQs were considered oems but I understood them to be first tier oems that built the pcs. Whereas I thought the 3rd tier oems went beyond and fabricated the motherboards and chipsets as well. But you are saying that there are different firms for each component stage. Is that correct?
