Motherboard makers are apparently more optimistic about desktops' demand than Intel, the sources commented. Although Intel is more conservative than motherboard makers, the chip vendor would be glad to see desktop demand pick up, and would adjust its shipments in line with the market development when necessary, the sources noted.
The sources pointed out that motherboard makers have been aggressive in preparing motherboard components in anticipation of an increase in demand for desktops in China, which is expected to take over Europe and North America to become the largest motherboard market worldwide.
