2 Hideathulajp , May 3, 2013 2:30 AMI though intel had exited the desktop motherboard market? Or was it only going to be after haswell? Or did they change their mind?

0 Hidewebbwbb , May 3, 2013 7:36 AMIntel is exiting the motherboard market after Haswell. They will however supply new stock of boards for 3 years after introduction and will support the warranties on those boards for 3 years after the sale date. This means that there will effectively be new Intel boards for an additional 6 to 7 years but the boards around the Haswell launch will be the last new SKUs.
