Sales of motherboards expected to fall in the second quarter 2016

The producers of the delay affected motherboards with which Intel will make available the new processors of the Core family, referred to by the name of Kaby Lake code. For the second quarter of the year they are in fact expected to be down sales volumes motherboard by about 10% as an average.

Asustek and Gigabyte, the two main producers in Taiwan, will close the first quarter with about 4.4 million sold motherboards each one: it is, as designed by Digitimes, a figure up 10% compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 but down compared to figures for the same period last year.

These two companies will benefit, during the second quarter, a shift in demand for motherboards in their favor over demand for the so-called second tier manufacturers models. For this reason, the contraction of 10% expected that average should prove to be lower for Asustek and Gigabyte, recording in excess of the remaining producers.

Intel will make available the Kaby Lake processors of new generation in the third quarter of the year, presumably between August and September. For this reason, manufacturers of Taiwanese motherboards will begin only in summer shipments of the new chipset-based models of the 200 family, from Z270 and H270 proposals positioned in the higher-end segment. The lack of these innovations is therefore the root cause of the small number of motherboards that will be sold during the second quarter of 2016; a recovery in volumes is not expected before August.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...
