Can you provide a link to any of these websites.

 

Considering that is all that they do, I find that very unlikely. I highly doubt they would just shut down their company with a +$11 billion Net Income. Wherever you heard that or read that, you should stay away from that place.

 

Intel Announced in 2013 that they are stopping production on their own Desktop Motherboards.
They still will make Desktop Chipset, and Processors and other portable motherboards and processors. Intel will stop producing its own desktop motherboards | The Verge

Here is ONE website that I found. I'm still searching for the other ones I found...by accident.


Intel Is Getting Out Of The Motherboard Business

Here's another link.... this one refers to Intel not producing desktop motherboards and processors for the desktop motherboards.

OK, seems settled. Out of MOBO business, concentrating on chips (and lots of other stuff).

Sorry about the "bits and pieces". I'm trying to find those websites that I accidentally came across.

The article is hardly news, being almost 3 years old. And it makes no mention of ceasing production of CPUs let alone closing up shop, only diverting focus of one part of it's business elsewhere. This isn't really that unusual.

Big companies like Intel hardly ever close up shop. They get bought out, change focus, or move manufacturing facilities but they do not close up shop.

 

INTEL is slowing DT and WS CPU productions and ceasing internal mobo development, as all other DT and WS makers already slowed mobo productions due to significant market shrink (over the explosions of tablets and smart phones). Also, INTEL slows down with the new CORE CPU family releases, as all other silicon CPU vendors do, due to the current lithography limitations (7 nm is damn low). :grin:
