Although aggressive price reductions of Intel CPUs should spur growth for the Intel platform, Micro-Star International (MSI) does not plan to neglect AMD-supported motherboards in the second half of 2006, according to company vice president Wu Lung Ping (transliterated from Chinese).

MSI currently estimates that its current proportion of motherboard shipments is evenly split between Intel and AMD CPU-based boards, although the motherboard makers said 65% of its motherboard shipments were AMD CPU-based in the first quarter.

Wu explained that the company will increase its shipment proportion of AMD-based motherboards if that is what market demand dictates.

Wu stressed that the adjusted CPU lineup prices of Intel Pentium D, Pentium 4 and Celeron CPU lineup do not differ much with AMD's lineup. In addition, she highlighted that the performance and price (P/P) ratio of AMD's AM2 socket CPU is more competitive than Intel's Pentium D following the announced price reduction of AM2 CPUs.



MSI shipped 65% AMD Motherboards In Q1 And Expects More Demand

This is weird. if AM2 is so "inferior" (like some trolls tend to believe), why would MSI expect more demand for AM2 than for conrunt? :roll:

they shipped those mobos in dells and hps which means that the 65% is not representative of how good or bad MSI boards are, which is inline with what people recommend here which is DFI and ASUS

Because MSI doesn't have a good 775 mobo that any one would want?
They make cheap crap.


Please don't say conrunt... that conrunt will wipe the floor with your love pretty soon. :wink:

i have a MSI in my hp media center pc with a 4200+ X2 , what i intended to say with my original post is that 65% doesn't show that MSI is a good brand and that MSI only says they expect more demand so people will buy their stock

It must be well suited because my beauty of a board is an MSI w SBLive! and it rocks, has auto overclocking - not that I oc, .05 voltage, 1394a, USB2, SATA RAID, puts up great numbers at stock and has run rock solid since Oct05.

All they're saying is:

This should be blantly obvious. If there is demand of AMD mobos, then obviously they would supply. This doesn't indicate they expect more demand for AM2, just that they have standard contingencies in place.

While it's great that AMD comprised 65% of their shipments in Q1:

I guess we'll have to hope that this downward share isn't indicative of a trend.

I'm just saying I looked at DFI and Asus, but I was attracted to onboard SBLive which has the best perf in games. We all know the bundle is the difference with the IMC.

So, I guess DFI is also crap because 90% of their motherboards are AMD-based. :wink:

Well, mostly I'm saying you're an a-hole, but I'm kinda saying that because th eMC IS NOT in the NORTH BRIDGE, then mobo differences are slight until you add extra features like ONBOARD SBLive!

If SBLive is so bad why are they selling models for $400 while NO OTHER sound card company has more share than Apple in PC sales?

If you cared about sound you'd get an Xfi, the azalia board with DTS or an Audigy 2.

Because the soundcard market has been screwed over by creative (oh the irony).
