I wonder if Intel would accept this from nVIDIA, for giving full SLI license to Intel, besides the licenses for future CPU / chipsets:

- Drop CF support from your chipsets, and make SLI the one and only standard.

As of now, CF support is something that supports AMD as well as Intel, but I have the feeling, that Intel would rather wish to support nVIDIA, exclusively, as nVIDIA doesn't directly have CPU alternatives or in that race / competition, yet.

CF + SLI on the same Intel motherboard, is a problem for Intel, I think. Sure they may sell more motherboards, but they'll also serve the competitions's offerings in terms of GPUs sold, and that may well hurt Intel more.

Jusr speculating, of course.
