X-bit Labs reports the big three (ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte) and Sapphire will start selling AMD Brazos-based motherboards in Q1 2011:
“AMD is ushering in a new era of personal computing, and our industry partners are ready to take advantage of the first ever AMD Fusion APU. By combining the processing of the CPU with the GPU on a single energy efficient chip, we believe their customers can take advantage of better price/performance, superior 1080p HD playback and small form factors for innovative designs," said Chris Cloran, corporate vice president and general manager of computing solutions group of client division at AMD.

Asustek Computer, Gigabyte Technology, MicroStar International and Sapphire Technologies are committed to offer mainboards based on AMD Brazos platform with integrated C-series (Ontario, 9W) or E-series (Zacate, 18W) accelerated processing units code-named Ontario and Zacate, respectively.
