ASRock to push Intel P43-based motherboards

Despite that most motherboard makers are currently pushing Intel P45 motherboards, second-tier motherboard maker ASRock has launched 7-8 P43 chipset models for different markets, according to sources in the channel.

Due to the fact most motherboard makers are still carrying P35 chipset inventories, these makers do not wish to push P43-based motherboards in order to prevent an impact on their clearance plans. Since ASRock did not launch P35 models, the company does not have pressure over P35 inventory and will be able to fully push P43-based products.

ok, in that case I don't understand the article, but I'm not really interested in hardware so I have no idea what the difference between P35, P43 and P45 is, so ... :p

I'm sorry but after some research this article doesn't make sense to me..

So "most motherboard makers are currently pushing Intel P45 motherboards"

And "ASRock has launched 7-8 P43 chipset models for different markets"

So many motherboard manufacturers are releasing " Intel P45 motherboards " and ASRock choice P43..

Ok got the point until here..

But now " most motherboard makers are still carrying P35 chipset inventories, these makers do not wish to push P43-based motherboards in order to prevent an impact on their clearance plans. "

So and isn't P45 going to impact on their clearance plans also, what's difference?

Maybe P35 prices will start dropping soon? Then P45 wouldn't be in the same price range.

ASRock does offer four different models of P35 boards, but I note they were very late to the P35 party.

I rathed liked the ASRock board I had-- a 939SLI32-eSATA2. They seem to have that "innovative spirit" you usually see with low-end firms, without being completely bare-bones designs like ECS.
