Unsurprising for the short term but I would fathom into the medium and long term that Corsair + Origin start to venture into the proprietary realm a bit. Example would be small form factor systems using a custom motherboard.
There is always room to experiment, but looking at the overall market, you see areas that are underserved by the big OEMs, and that is where companies like Origin can do well. I can also see where Corsair would be able to learn from Origin when it comes to what products do well from an enthusiast point of view. If a product works well, but is a nuisance to install, that is the sort of thing that Origin can feed back into Corsair for future component improvements. Cases as well, since installing the components into a case(especially things like radiators for liquid cooling) is something that new designs might take into account if the designers actually thought about it.
Despite the announcement, I would hazard a guess that the C-Level at Origin will see the axe fall in the name of streamlining and budget reductions sometime in the next 24-48 months. Buying a company and then keeping its entire management stack is inefficient and you only do it for as long as it takes to handle knowledge transfer and to keep the line workers feeling secure during the transition.
Great technology, though large corporations are always focused on the business segment. A lot of money is spinning in this area and it is beneficial for them to dampen the development of this direction. As for me, an employee of the http://www.ibuyanessay.com/, it is important for me that companies allocate time and money for the development of the educational direction. Studying is an important period of our lives and affects our future place of work and standard of living

But if they made their own MB’s and GC’s they could build in compatible LED systems out the gate.Targon - Friday, July 26, 2019 - link
