Besides, how would that be possible, and how would you explain the scaling between CF and SLI in games? Shouldn't there be a disparity if their magical 'SLI processor' actually made a difference? I mean, from what I can see, if anything, CF scales better.
Look, I didn't say it was magical and clearly said MAYBE IT IS NEEDED.

CF scales better because ATI started with the Dongle and corrected it from the ground up. Maybe nVidia didn't. But even in AMD's case, checkout those 4870 X2 vs 2 4870s in CF?

Now please notice that excellent Bridge chip used on X2? It doesn't matter if this was added to two cards or not. The X2 card works every time, the SLI and CF doesn't. I'd take X2 any time. Sorry but 2 X2's are kind of Crazy in most cases.

If I wanted X58, and I do want it, I'm happier with one 4870 X2 than two of either nVidia or AMD cards. So I don't want or need a NF200 on the board.
