Asustek Computer, or Gigabyte Technology, probably will not be able to deliver the planned number of motherboards due to weak demand in the Chinese market.
Asustek Computer Corporation is planning to put in the third quarter of this year, about 5.8 million motherboards. In the third quarter, according to sources, they will release on 5.6 million motherboards each. The reason for that - weak demand for payment in China.
Though Intel released at the end of the end of August their top processors Haswell-E chipsets and their contribution to sales will be negligible.
Asustek Computer and Gigabyte Technology have to resort to aggressive techniques to increase their market share. Analysts predict that in the final quarter of the year, price competition in the motherboard market will increase significantly.
