It’s finally arrived, the first retail nVidia nForce4 SLi for Intel motherboard. Ok, ok, I’ve calmed down now, after all it’s just another motherboard chipset, or is it? Considering that this is nVidia’s first attempt at creating a chipset for Intel processors it’s no mean feat to bring out an SLi solution at the same time. There are some obvious reasons why nVidia has gone down this route with the main one being that Intel doesn’t have a consumer level SLi capable motherboard at the moment.
Of course I imagine that Intel isn’t too happy about more competition in the chipset market, regardless of whether it’s a solution that Intel doesn’t offer itself. There are some rumours about Intel launching its own SLi compatible solution shortly, but so far it is only a rumour.
