According to the statement from Asus, this "disinformation" is extremely damaging to Asus and misleading to the consumers. Asus has also noted that it reserves the right to take legal action against any individual, organization or corporation responsible for such rumors, basically the plain legal stuff.

Unfortunately, Asus's statement doesn't address the technical part of the rumor. Either those rumors are true, or Asus is just taking some time to get its forces ready for the full scale war against, as statement calls it, "certain Taiwanese Motherboard Manufacturer".
