The first slide reads quite a bit like NV's nforce 590 advancements, tho possibly not quite as n00b friendly absent certification/bios support to ship OCed from the OEM? I wonder if it will support "SLI memory"? :smile:

The second slide has some roadmappery, including on future IGP parts. . .
 
Heh, just wanted to post this :) got it from HKEPC, though.

This bit is interesting:
Furthermore, it has 48 PCI-E Lanes and supports for 3 PCI-E slots, 2 for CrossFire and 1 for Physics Acceleration.

Wow, picking up physics co-processors went even faster than I thought! I didn't think ageia would get company that quickly!

Suspect that Nvidia will follow soon, perhaps in co-operation with ageia. It's obvious that there are big advantages when the physics coprocessor has close links to the graphics processors.

Whoa, hkepc is doing english pieces now? When did that happen? :oops:

ASM (ATI System Management) seems to be their "nTune".

This auto-OCing stuff for own-viddy cards by both IHVs now is one more nail in VIA & SiS coffins, I think. . .
 
No special reason, it'll just do what people do anyway but a bit more comfortably. In a sense, I wouldn't call it a feature at all, it's nothing but a BIOS hack. EDIT: besides working only with their own cards, respectably.

The enthusiasts bunch will find it rather annoying methinks, since they won't let ATI and nV tinker with their holy settings ;)

This just overclocks the PCI-E bus, and not the video card, correct? Therfore giving it the extra BW needed for Crossfire with no dongle (or whatever it called).
