Asustek Computer has placed orders with Intel for 1-1.2 million 7 series chipsets and 2.5-3 million H61 chipsets as well as ordering 600,000-800,000 760G and 500,000-600,000 A75 chipsets from AMD, for motherboards to be launched in the second quarter of 2012.

Since Intel will launch more Ivy Bridge-based processors in the third quarter, Asustek is expected to start expanding its orders for Intel's Z77 chipset then.

Asustek shipped 5.5 million motherboards, 4.1 million notebooks, 900,000 Eee PCs and 600,000 tablet PCs in the first quarter and expects to ship 5.5 million motherboards, 4.4 million notebooks, 1.1 million Eee PCs and 1.2 tablet PCs in the second quarter.
