GIGABYTE has left ASUS in a none-too happy mood. At a GIGABYTE media event last week, the manufacturer stated that ASUS' Energy Processing Unit is marketed as a hardware-based energy solution that is anything but. GIGABYTE claims ASUS' power-saving feature is all software-based and doesn't deliver on promises.
ASUS, the Taiwan-based manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, notebooks and a whole lot more, isn't pleased and today made this official statement:
It has come to our attention that a certain Taiwanese Motherboard Manufacturer has made false claims against ASUS motherboards. These claims have given rise to false information being communicated in both the mainstream media and technology channels. ASUS wishes to clarify the issues and so avoid any further confusion.
After investigation, it is clear that this company in question made use of a sponsored gathering of local and international media to deliberately spread information that we consider both untrue and without credible verification. This “disinformation” is not only extremely damaging to ASUS but also completely misleading to the consumers.
ASUS reserves the right to take legal action against any individual, organisation or corporation which creates or spreads such rumours.
Clearly, ASUS and GIGABYTE aren't the best of friends right now. GIGABYTE is no stranger when it comes to making derogatory remarks about its close competitor, we're already looking forward to its retort.
