Rumors circulating around these days. According to Digitimes, foxconn is going to quit from branded mainboard market. But today Foxconn officially denied the rumor.

Words from channel vendors said foxconn sales department have stopped taking orders for several mainboard models, and also stopped shipment volume forecast for all mainboard product models, and this will be the first step of quitting the business.

As soon as we heard the rumor, we contacted Eric Zhu, channel manager of Foxconn. He said the rumor is not true, Foxconn have no plan to quit from branded mainboard market. The sales department is only adjusting the existing stock product for few days, the adjusting doesnt means stop branded mainboard business.

To show us how good theyve done, Eric Zhu said their total amount of mainboard shipment outnumber ECS or other similar brand. Also, Eric points out Foxconns new product will be release on time, including the up coming X58 mainboard, Blood Rage and Renaissance, which will be the best answer to the rumors.
