They do. I've heard rumors that some motherboard manufacturers don't have the skills in-house to design and simulate high-speed portions of the PCB (like the memory bus) themselves; they use Intel (or AMD) reference designs for that portion of the board.
- midoridensha 3y agoYes, I've heard similar things, that a lot of PC motherboards were basically slightly modified reference PCBs from Intel. The high-speed portions of the boards were really difficult to design.
