Intel's plans, now free of non-disclosure restrictions (NDA), are as follows:

• Intels Desktop Motherboard Business will be ramping down ending a more than twenty year history.
• As Intel gradually ramps down its motherboard business we are ramping up a new focus on integrating innovative solutions for the PC ecosystems such as the recently announced Next Unit of Computing, as well as forging deeper partnerships with OEM and ODMs for the next generation of Ultrabooks, All-in-One PCs and future innovative products.
• Intels Desktop Motherboard Business will continue to deliver its 2013 Haswell-based products, allowing its customers ample time to transition to other Intel based supplier solutions.
• Intels Desktop Motherboard Business will not develop any new Intel branded desktop motherboards after completion of Haswell-based products launching in 2013.
• Intels Desktop Motherboard Business will build and sell ALL desktop motherboard products already in production through their normal life.
• Intels Desktop Motherboard Business will continue to support Intel motherboard products currently in production and sold through their normal warranty period (typically 3 years).
• The Desktop segment continues to be a major focus for Intel with hundreds of products across many sub-segments and applications. Intel expects the broad and capable Desktop motherboard ecosystem to fully support Intels growing roadmap and large worldwide customer base.

We have enthusiastically used Intel motherboards in most of our systems for the last 10 years. We do have other brands, such as Asus, MSI, and Supermicro, that we use and will continue to use.

We plan on using the new 2013 Intel desktop motherboard lineup. This change will not effect JNCS product decisions until 2014. As noted in the above listed bullet points, Intel warranty and support for products sold through the end of 2013 is not effected.

Server boards are not included in this announcement. Intel will continue to produce server and high-end workstation products.
