OC Workbench has posted an interview with Scott Thirwell, Marketing Director, ABIT TAIWAN
1) What is the manufacturing distribution of Intel and AMD boards at ABIT ?
Over 2002, ABIT has seen our mix go from 70-30 in AMD's favour to our current 50-50 mix. The ramp up of the Pentium 4's and the stabilisation of the chipset lines on Intel's part as well as Intel's huge Marketing push have resulted in Intel becoming more acceptable in ABIT's market. Whereas a year ago, no real gamer or performance user talked about Intel, today many of those same people are also using Intel for their performance systems. Personally, I have an AMD system using the AT7-MAX2, a 2700+ (333FSB) with 1.5GHz of memory and an OTES Ti4200 AGP8X and also an Intel system using the IT7-MAX, a 2.4GHz Pentium 4, 1.0GHz of memory and an OTES Ti4200 AGP4X. Both are sweet systems and I would not give up either of them.
