"SLI Processor" Glorification of an unneeded PCIe switchchip.

So pretty much the only new thing in the article is that there will be an EVGA X58 board.
That's cool though.

That's my favorite piece of X58/Nehalem news yet.

Certain statements in this press release including, but not limited to, statements as to: the benefits, advantages, features, impact, performance and capabilities of NVIDIA GeForce GPUs and SLI Technology; and users' preferences and demands are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause results to be materially different than expectations.

Coudn't resist, sorry

Of course tri sli + x58 + i7 will beat the crap out of tri sli + 790i and C2Q, nothing really new there.

Its the first I've heard of the DFI X58-T3eH8.

If kingpin starts benching intel chipsets like he doesn nvidia everyone will be more doomed then they already are!

It will probably just be a rebranded Intel reference platform

SLI is nothing but a brand name. Its not anything special that X48 cant handle now and X58 cant handle in the future without a stupid certification. Its just Nvidias dirty little marketing scheme / cash cow. I guess since they arent selling as many video cards and their mobile chip flub is going to cost theme 100s of millions, they need to fleece the customer some how. I will NEVER go back to a Nvidia chipset after seeing how piss poor the 6XX and 7XX chipsets are compared to an Intel chipset. I own a Striker Extreme (680i) and a P5E Deluxe (X48) and the Intel board wins hands down in features and stability.

Of course not More information coming soon.

Of course not More information coming soon.

EVGA does have the support, IF they can bring the quality and a board that works excellently with CF and SLI, they will win many customers over to their side from the traditional manufacturers of intel platforms.

OMG that is good news for me EVGA is a very good company however Nvidia chipset are holding them back some

[Chruschef]

This is great news!

eVGA is a great company, and they always have been.

I love their warranties.. Now if only XFX would follow suit, then I'd be really happy. XFX has always been my favorite nVidia manufacturer...

I'll be crossing my fingers for XFX....

IIRC XFX doesnt actually make any motherboards, they just rebrand the foxconn reference boards.... as did evga in many many cases

lol they have Shamino working over there
i think we are going to see some monsters coming out of evga

[gumballguy]

I can't stand EVGA.

Ever since they put their head in the sand regarding the 630i not taking ram > 6400mhz without failing to post or screwing up the onboard ethernet (many complaints of this problem on the evga forums from unique usernames, EVGA didn't respond once despite otherwise being active on their forums, and they still continued to sell the board though).

Stuff EVGA. The only good thing they ever did was the step-up program, which is useless to a fair chunk of the world.
