Humpty Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 With this in mind, it's surprising to learn the amount of work and machinery involved in manufacturing a single motherboard. We'd vaguely imagined some sort of stamping process where all components are slapped onto the bare board in one step and soldered, before being boxed in a big room full of bored workers. Sure there'd have to be some testing, but how intense could it be? As PCSTATS recent trip to Gigabyte's Nan-Ping factory in Taiwan showed us, there's a lot more to it. In fact, producing and testing a single motherboard involves a mind-boggling host of automated machines, people and processes; so we'd like to detail the whole assembly line we toured while covering Computex, to give you a feel for how things are really made.

Robbie Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Thanks for that link. Very interesting article. I wonder how many workers there are in that factory, given that most of the assembly is automated and most of the workspace seems to be for automated processes.
