Research Scope

This research focuses on desktop PCs, which can be divided by CPU connector type into , /745, socket 478, LGA775, and others. Desktop PCs in this study are further segmented into tower/desktop, slim type, or all-in-one form factors, as well as by assembly level, including full system, barebone, and half-system.

Companies surveyed are the major global motherboard makers operating ODM, OEM, EMS, CEM, OBM and private-label businesses; production sites and shipment destinations include Taiwan, China, Japan, other Asian Countries, North America, Latin America, Western Europe and other European countries, and other regions.

Companies Covered

Product Definitions Desktop PC Desktop PCs are a type of personal computer. Desktop PCs are typically bundled with a monitor, as well as other input components such as keyboard and mouse.

CPU Connector Type Socket A AMD K7 core architecture CPU (), with FSB (Front Side Bus) of 333MHz~400MHz and 462 pins

Socket 478 Intel Northwood core CPU, FSB of 333MHz, 400MHz, and 800MHz

Socket 939/754 AMD K8, K9 core CPU, 64-bit support with integrated DDR memory controller

© 2015 Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute Page 14 of 18 Worldwide Desktop PC Forecast

Socket AM2 AMD K8 core CPU, 64-bit support with integrated DDR2 memory controller

Socket AM3 Directly following from Socket AM2+, Socket AM3 CPU support DDR3 memory controller, with 938 pins

Socket FM1 AMD Socket FM1, GPU with integrated DDR3 memory controller LGA 775

Intel Prescott, Cedar Mill, Smithfield, Presler, Conroe, Kentsfield core CPU, FSB of 533MHz - 1333MHz

LGA 1366

Intel Nehalem microarchiecture CPU, 64 bit support with integrated DDR3 memory controller and 1,366 pins; change from FSB to QPI

LGA 1156 Intel dual-core and quad-core 32nm Sandy Bridge platform CPU released in the first quarter of 2011 with 1155 pins. With GPU embedded in the CPU, the corresponding support only DDR3 memory

LGA 1155 LGA 1156 includes the dual-core and quad-core 45nm Lynnfield CPUs released in the third quarter of 2009 and 32nm Clarkdale platform CPU released in the first quarter of 2010. With 1,156 pins, the CPU is embedded with GPU and the corresponding chipsets support only DDR3 memory

Others

Includes Intel socket 370, MoDT, VIA C3, and VIA C7 as well as IBM's Power architecture CPU

Form Factor Tower or Desktop

Traditional tower case with width of 12 or more centimeters, and volume of 15 or more liters

Slim Type

Slim, book sized case smaller than 12 centimeters in width, with volume under 15 liters

All-in-one Monitor integrated with main case

Assembly Level Half-System

Includes case, power supply, heat sink, fan

Barebone

Half-system level with motherboard and other I/O components

Full System

Includes CPU, HDD (Hard Disk Drive), ODD (Optical Disk Drive), DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), and operating system; has passed full-system testing

Business Type Definitions ODM

ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) entails collaborative product design between manufacturer and customer, or product design autonomously undertaken by the manufacturer within parameters established by the customer. Following customer verification and order placement, the manufacturer proceeds with production and assembly. The manufacturer does not participate in customer activities related to product conception, branding, sales, or logistics.

OEM

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) entails production and assembly within customer-specified parameters and according to product specifications designated by the customer. The manufacturer does not participate in customer activities related to product conception, branding, sales, or logistics.

EMS/CEM

EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Service) entails production and assembly within customer-specified parameters and according to product specifications designated by the customer. Additionally, the manufacturer provides after-sales services. The manufacturer does not participate in customer activities related to product conception, branding, or sales. The CEM (Contract Electronics Manufacturing) business model is similar to EMS, however, CEM focuses on sub-assembly rather than complete product manufacturing and after-sales services.

OBM OBM (Own Brand Manufacturing) entails the oversight of product conception, production, branding, sales, and logistics activities by manufacturers themselves. Any goods shipped to customers carry the brand of the manufacturer.

Private Label

Private label entails product conception, design, and production by manufacturers. Customers affix their own brand and handle branding, sales, and logistics activities. In the PC industry customers within the private label business model are typically referred to as clone or white box makers, most of which are regional channel players or system integrators. In the communications industry, such customers are usually brand- name telecoms, channel players, or system integrators.
