Here's the comprehensive list of Nehalem product code-names...
Wait a minute

NVIDIA doesn't have a license for the QPI connection, but could make a chipset for anything that doesn't have QPI. The lack of QPI info on the lower market solutions, does that mean they use the old FSB and not QPI, and could NVIDIA possibly make SLI chipsets for these if they wish to?

And even if NVIDIA doesn't have the QPI license, couldn't they just unlock the driver and support SLI on Intel's own chipset, if they wanted to?

Just speculation and sorry for off-topic.
