Intel will release ODM orders in place of OEM orders for the first time to Taiwan motherboard makers, with such orders initially being placed with Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) only, according to industry sources in Taiwan.

The move is meant to help Intel save R&D costs for its own-brand motherboards, which currently have annual shipments of around 4-5 million units, the sources noted.
