Interesting to say the least. I have very rarely used Intel mobos & CPUs. I stick with AMD only because of nothing but good experiences. However like myself each person has a preference and for many different reasons. So don't interpret this as an endorsement or a statement of any kind.

Although not mentioned in the article, Intel uses Foxconn to fabricate many of its' MBs.

With the worker abuse instances that has come to light recently, I think it is good for Intel to get out of that situation.
