About half a year ago Taiwanese mainboard manufacturers shared the statistics concerning the amount of mainboards they had sold during the first half of 2000 and concerning their plans for the future. Now it’s high time we summed up the outcome and drew some conclusions. Take a look at the table below:
| Manufacturer | Amount of mainboards sold for the year 2000, in 1,000 pieces | Amount of mainboards planned to be sold for the year 2000, in 1,000 pieces | How much was done |
|---|
| ASUS | 13,950 | 15,000 | 93% |
|---|
| GIGABYTE | 9,800 | 9.500 | 103.2% |
|---|
| MSI | 9,000 | 8,480 | 106.1% |
|---|
| ECS | 7,600 | 5,375 | 141.4% |
|---|
| ABIT | 2,400 | 2,800 | 85.7% |
|---|
| DFI | 2,360 | 2,800 | 84.3% |
|---|
| CHAINTECH | 1,760 | 2,177 | 80.8% |
|---|
| BIOSTAR | 1,610 | 2,560 | 62.9% |
|---|
| EPOX | 1,500 | 2,400 | 62.5% |
|---|
Well, here are a few comments of ours:
- Although ASUS has come really close to the sacred 15 million bar, they failed to overcome it. Anyway, ASUS remains the indisputable leader here.
- GIGABYTE managed to exceed the initial plan and took the second prize, as they have actually expected.
- MSI managed to exceed the plan even more than GIGABYTE though it still didn’t manage to win the third position in our chart: it took the third one.
- The champion in terms of sales increase appeared Elitegroup (ECS), which made a significant dash forward in the end of 2000 and hence managed to come really close to the market leaders. If it goes on like this, this company will be able to threaten ASUS’s major competitors in a year or so.
- All the other companies appeared in the following sequence: ABIT, DFI, CHAINTECH, BIOSTAR, EPOX. The interesting thing about all the companies located in the lower part of the table, is that all of them overestimated their potential, especially EPOX, which turned out to get the lowest percentage: 62.5.
