Sapphire jumps into the mobo business big time
 

A FEW MONTHS ago, we broke the story about large chunks of EVGA's mobo team leaving for Sapphire. Just over a month ago, the rest of the team joined their colleagues in less green pastures.

A lot of people have been asking about what happened, and while it is a bit old at this point, the rest of the team is now at Sapphire. Why? Instead of screwing their partners, AMD is encouraging them to branch out into areas that are profitable. If low end GPUs cease to exist, then partners can make the same money by selling the customer a mobo with a new CPU/GPU combo.
