ASRock launches the first high-end motherboard – 4Core1600P35-WiFi+

By

ASRock has recently launched its first high-end motherboard, the 4Core1600P35-WiFi+ adopting Intel’s P35 chipset. Although the P35 will only support up to 1333MHz FSB officially, ASRock has enabled support for up to 1600MHz, according to the company. In addition to solid capacitors and overclock control software, the motherboard features the Realtek ALC890 chip for sound, and also built-in IEEE 802.11g.

ASRock is also planning to soon launch motherboards adopting Nvidia’s nForce 650i and 680i chipsets, according to the company. Although the new product lines mean that ASRock has begun to step into Asustek Computer’s motherboard market, the two will not become competitors, and instead will cooperate with each other. ASRock will continue to focus on the entry-level market, while mid-range and high-end products will account for 30% of the company’s total motherboard shipments, noted Sterling Wu, president of ASRock.
