Just read the article... is it true intel get the licence? did we can sli on intel mobo?

souce : http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=40123

yep. but problems:
1. The Enquirer
2. the board. that board look like server board :sweats:

the article also mentions, "Intel has landed an SLI licence for desktop, not just mobile". I dont think its the very latest news. Intel + SLi for mobile system has been in-development and advertisment since like late April / early May. but still, it's a good news to share.

updated: Somehow i read the article and get confused. I know i dont make any sense with my reply. Just ignore it.

That was unofficial support meaning if shit happens you deal with it.

Wondering how this will impact NV's chipset business; the only good nforce chipset was nforce2 for AMD the rest were quite bad and ppl only bought them for SLI.

i dont find any reason why a SLI is practical in mobile segment

anyway, i believe SLI will be licensed to Intel, it is a win-win solution for both nvidia and intel. d u think intel stil interested to use crossfire on its board?

oh i see, but i pretty much sure have seen the Intel C2D + SLi platform in some of pc magz and websites so..whatever it is, thanks for the heads up again.

yap from the pict it server board, maybe in future we able to sli @ crossfire on a mobo, no need to change other mobo if wanna run other setup...

SLI platforms doesn't use intel chipsets.

hmm .... for me who care >< .. i dun like intel chipset board ... ( my own problem ) = =

but i really dun like intel chipset .. dun know y ...

If the Inq is to be believed NV got FSB + CSI license while Intel got SLI and probably other graphic technologies.
NV is threading on dangerous ground: once ATI is sorted out they will be pushed out of the AMD chipset/platform business while Intel is going all out on a GPU.


You'll be suprised to know Intel demoed the P965 with SLI when they launched C2D. ATI had just been acquired by AMD and were relegated to 2nd fiddle for the launch.

oh really hmm but there is SLI platform for mobiles out there already. I think it would be nice to see the results of intel's board + CrossFire too.

SLi currently limited on nforce chipset. things i hate on nforce: LOTSA BUGS!

nevermind. I shud talking more on desktop than mobile, as a lot of ppl here dont even care about SLi on laptops.

sli on notebook very rare here. only highend voodoo, dell, etc havs it. that's why no people discuss bout it. moreover, the price...

Oh even voodoo or dell dont have it either. I get what u mean.

i pretty sure that we can sli on x38 chipset. since intel already got license from nvidia, intel will work to make sure it able to sli nvidia card on their own chipset

tat is why we are not seeing it much in our market practical or not like this?

I dont really get what u mean by that. however, thanks for all the infos guys.

u post in ur previous post that there are already mobile SLI mah. then did u saw any advertisement (Dell, HP) advertise this product? or did u even see it in lowyat or any other computer shops?

it is not practical bcoz SLI suck the battery life faster than a single graphic solution. amd and intel is trying to maximize the battery life by implementing better power saving capability while SLI is the opposite of wat amd and intel trying to do.

edwin3210, for your information there are mobile system with SLi that already out by now. Even better, a product has been hold just bcoz Santa Rosa is already out, so they are now working to fit Santa Rosa + C2D + SLi (7950gtx for now and 8xxxM for the future). For the dx10 gpus, it is not officially announce yet, but it is pretty much confirmed by back door informant.

To mention the credibility of the information, i do own and currently using on it now. I do understand about it is not practical for our market, but it is not totally impractical. PM me for more info if u interested to know more information about that. We are getting way out of the topic.
