Nvidia has put out a press release officially announcing their licensing of SLI to Intel for use on the X58 chipsets. NVIDIA Corporation today announced that Intel Corporation has licensed NVIDIA® SLI™ technology for inclusion on the Intel® DX58SO motherboard for the Intel® Core i7 processor. As a result, customers with Intel X58-based motherboards and the Core i7 processor can now equip their PCs with any combination of NVIDIA GeForce® GPUs, including Quad SLI, for the ultimate visual computing experience. “The addition of NVIDIA SLI technology to the Intel DX58SO motherboard has been a welcome addition,” said Clem Russo, VP and General Manager of Channel Desktop Platform Group at Intel Corporation. “The pairing of our new Core i7 processors on our Extreme Series motherboard and NVIDIA GeForce graphics has resulted in some of the world’s fastest consumer gaming PC platforms. For playing any of today’s hottest PC titles, this is one awesome combination that our customers have been asking for.” Previously CrossFire was only available on Intel chipsets. |
