Gigabyte attacks Asus on Intel mainboard pricing

Word from the channel has reached KitGuru that Gigabyte is keen to increase its share of the Intel mainboard space for 2010, and it’s prepared to get aggressive on price to make it happen.

Gigabyte is one of the only mainboard manufacturers that’s able to stand toe to toe with Asus. In December 2006, Asus’ solution to that competition problem was to form a new company, but the union did not last long. Asus came out of the partnership very quickly and around the Core i7 launch, the P6T mainboard owned the high end space.
