ASUS and GIGABYTE have excess P45 motherboards

Millions of boards left sitting around, unwanted.

It seems that the economy of late has caused both ASUS and GIGABYTE to have excess stock of their P45 motherboards.

ASUS has somewhere between six and seven million P45 motherboards sitting around gathering dust, whereas GIGABYTE are in a similar predicament with just under six million.

It’s not that there’s something wrong with the boards, in fact we have approved many of them in our giant roundup, it’s simply that spending has dropped off so unexpectedly that both these companies were taken unawares.

Head over to Digitimes to get more on these excess boards.
