Intel itself is manufacturing motherboards?

[varghesejim]

I heard this from my friend.He told intel is outsourcing motherboard manufacturing to thirdparties and simply labelling it as intel brand.Nonsense,right?

whatever. as long as the quality of the board is maintained and comes with the INTEL sticker and warranty, i wudnt mind

If it was not for <b><font color=red>C</font color=red></b>, we wud be using <b><font color=blue>BASI, PASAL & OBOL</font color=blue></b>

Intel has been manufacturing it's own boards for at least 10 years, most of them for OEM's such as Gateway (who later went with MSI to save money) and Dell. I haven't heard of them outsourcing board manufacturing, but if they did, it would still be by Intel design, certification, and warranty.

I just have a curiosity to find the actual manufacturer(in case) of intel maotherboards.
I have an intel motherboard with AMI bios.I tried a small software downloaded from AMI site
to find the actual manufacturer.But the software responded "as this is an intel motherboard this will not work ".
Why it is so?As the bios is AMI the software should work.So intel want to hide something?

Intel writes their own BIOS, it will only contain Intel information.
