NVIDIA's Socket 775 Core Logic Coming Soon

Posted by Hemos on from the moving-into-the-big-boy-space dept.

Hack Jandy writes "NVIDIA dominates a large percentage of AMD chipset sales already, and next week they will reportedly make the announcement to pursue Intel based platforms as well. NVIDIA's General Manager claims March 1st (during the Intel Developer Forum) will be the date the world gets to see NVIDIA's SLI chipset running on a Socket 775 Intel motherboard."

    No. SoundStorm is dead.

    The motherboard mfgrs weren't getting enough positive feedback from it, it was expensive (the Dolby license was not the only reason), and Creative bought Sensura, whose technology it used.

    Sure, you can come up with all the excuses you want for why soundstorm died, but we all know the real reason is this.

    Link to the official press release, no need to guess further.

  4. Continuance of SLI in nVidia Intel mobo chipsets? by Piewalker · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Will nVidia continue to pursue SLI configurations in Intel mobos? I think it makes sense to do so. Intel chipsets have a much bigger market, and SLI is just barely coming of age. SLI would certainly distinguish nVidia from other Intel chipset manufacturers. Sounds like nVidia is doing well enough to expand into the Pentium/Celeron/Xeon market. Finally some options for P4 users! But what will they call it??? Will they call their Intel chipsets "nForce" or something else? Waiting for benchmarks...
