Intel to leave desktop motherboard business by 2016

Intel will continue rolling out desktop motherboards that are currently in production, in addition to the fourth-generation Haswell desktop boards that are in the design and development phase and due to be released later this year. These products will have a typical lifecycle of about 18 months, said the Intel spokeswoman, adding that Intel customers will continue to be supported with a full warranty during that time.

The way I read this it’s just the motherboards themselves, not the chips included in desktop motherboards.
