abit moves to dispel rumours @ Hexus

abit friends, Hexus, has come to the rescue and attempted to get to the bottom of the recent digitimes article talking about how abit is looking to phase out of the motherboard market.  As always rumors are not true, or in this case taken out of context.

Here is a snip:

“It’s not true; we’re just as committed to motherboards as ever,” said Welling. “We improved our motherboard sales by 160 percent last year.

To further stress abit’s commitment, Welling said “We will have 38 motherboards on display at Computex, 12 of which will be new. We will have a full range of Intel, NVIDIA and AMD boards, including the new, high-end, Intel P45 based IP45 Max.”

Asked how he thought the rumour may have started, Welling said: “We are trying to broaden the abit brand and producing digital home and consumer electronics products, such as our digital photo frame and printer: FunFab. Perhaps someone read into that.”

 This is not the first time digitimes has "gotten it wrong" and I'm sure it won't be that last.
