Intel has reportedly set a shipment goal of one million Lynnfield (Core i5 and i7) CPUs for desktops by the end of 2009.
Asus and Gigabyte are expected to each ship 400,000 P55-based motherboards by year-end 2009, and the other motherboard makers including MSI, ECS and AsRock may total around 200,000 units.
Joe Hsieh, vice president of Asus motherboard business unit product marketing department, points out that the company expects to ship 5.5-6 million motherboards in the third quarter, six million units in the fourth, and 22 million units in total in 2009.
Currently, around 30% of motherboards shipped by Asus are Intel G31-based, and Hsieh admitted that Asus is suffering from a shortage of the chipset. However, he said that the company will speed up the transition of new platforms to lower the impact.
