Relations with Intel A principios del ano 1990, los productores de placas base taiwaneses no habian establecido aun sus posiciones de liderazgo en el sector del hardware para ordenador. Any new processor from Intel would have been provided earlier to the more established companies like IBM, while Taiwanese companies have been forced to wait for about six months after IBM received engineering samples (prototypes). When the first Intel 486 processor was released, the four ASUS founders decided to design their own 486 motherboard without having a 486 sample processor, using only technical details published by Intel and the experience that when they made their versions of motherboards 386. When completed its prototype of ASUS motherboard 486, was taken to the headquarters of Intel in Taiwan to be proven. To their surprise, they were received very warmly upon arrival. It was learned that the 486 motherboard prototype Intel had been working properly recently, and Intel's engineers were still working on a solution. The founders of ASUS used their experience with the 486 and had his own point of view concerning the malfunctioning of the motherboard from Intel. Your solution works, to the surprise of the engineers at Intel. Intel then tested the prototype of ASUS, which worked perfectly. This marks the beginning of an informal relationship between the two companies - Today ASUS receive engineering samples of Intel processors in advance over its competitors.
