ECS and Foxconn Focus on the Video Card Market
Taiwan?s leading graphics card suppliers Asustek Computer, Gigabyte Technology, Micro-Star International (MSI) and two affiliates of Foxconn Electronics (the registered trade name of Hon Hai Precision Industry), Leadtek Research and Tul, should experience more competition in 2006, when Foxconn launches its branded graphics cards and Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) resumes production of its own-brand graphics cards. I wonder if the upcoming launch of Windows Vista has anything to do with their timing to enter the market.
Foxconn debuted its first own-brand graphics card, the PX7900 GTX based on the Nvidia GeForce 7900 GTX graphics chip, at CeBIT 2006 in Hannover, Germany. Volume shipments are slated to kick off by the first half of 2006, according to the company. Foxconn said it will market its branded graphics cards under the ?Foxconn? name, different from its branded motherboards which carries Leadtek?s ?WinFast? brand name.
