Foxconn lines up against Asus as high-end mainboard battle looms
In the last 2-3 years ASUS has pretty much dominated the enthusiast market! With some real competition can it hold on to “Top Spot”
TURN BACK time to three years ago, and try to put “Asus” and “overclocker” in a single sentence. No way, it would have been a truly nasty oxymoron. MSI, Gigabyte, were all ahead of Asus’ mediocre mobo performance -enhancing capabilities. Then the Republic of Gamers (ROG) – not Republic of China (ROC) mind you – came along.
Fast forward to today. Asus ROG boards lead the high-end enthusiast market. Who doesn’t know of the Extreme board series with aggressive names like Striker, Blitz, Maximus, Rampage and so on. There is also a notch-below “Formula” series with the same names as above for those more cost-conscious.
