Intel doesn’t even try to hide the fact that it is very upset on Nvidia’s attitude. Nvidia simply doesn’t want to let Intel to use SLI on X38 or other 3 series of chipsets.
Intel tried to win this one but Nvidia simply doesn’t want to hurt Drew Henry's chipset business and wants to remain exclusive on the SLI runs on Nvidia only side.
We are sure that Intel is going to get back to Nvidia sooner or later as Grapzilla stepped at too many toes of Chipzilla people. Traditionally its not that a good idea to upset the beast that is 20 plus times bigger than you but Jen Hsuns boys just like to play with the fire.
Intel can always Larrabee Nvidia and the L word might be like the secret spell for 2008 that is set to change some discrete graphic orders.
Meanwhile Nvidia is about to have its first working samples of the card that might end up be called Geforce 8700. The new mainstream chip should be the one we mentioned before codenamed D8M but it can be highly likely that Nvidia has another codename for it, something like G8x.
The new chip aims to be launched together with G92 in the Novemberish time and this will secure Nvidia’s performance leadership in this market segment.
If the yields are good Nvidia will have a killer chip as the thermal dissipation of this improved version of G84 core is going to be much better and it will let Nvidia to set the higher clocks.
What else can we say other that it feels good to be Nvidia.
