Intel to stop motherboard production

Intel is stepping out of the motherboard market. According to AnandTech, the chip giant has announced that it will no longer produce and sell its desktop motherboards after the launch of Haswell in 2013. Intel boards, including the upcoming Haswell motherboards, will still carry a full warranty and will be supported by the company during that period.Those currently working in Intel's desktop motherboard division will be moved to other groups within Intel that can use their talents. The company will still produce its own form factor reference designs for Ultrabooks and tablets, which is where many of the people from the motherboard division are likely to end up.Click here for full story
