First-tier motherboard makers to ship nearly 400,000 Z68-based motherboards in May

The bulk of May shipments of Z68 motherboards will come from Gigabyte Technology, said the sources, noting that Asustek Computer is expected to ship 30,000 Z68 models in May, while Micro-Star International (MSI) and ASRock combined will ship only 15,000 units.

Additionally, Gigabyte plans to launch over 20 models of Z68-based motherboards before the end of June, including models that will support m-SATA onboard technology, the sources indicated.

Its no wonder there was a rumormill about Gigabyte and their production stop of P67 and H67, given the diversity of Z68 models and volume in which they are shipping it makes sense.
