Title: Intel's P45 Licensed for X-Fire
The folks over at DigiTimes are reporting Intel's next-gen mainstream chipset, the P45, has evidently been licensed to carry the ATI Crossfire 'secret code'. It is also slated for release the same time as the X48, considered an enthusiast chipset.
I hope, as the article eludes to, this places pressure on NVidia to be a bit less stingy with SLI. This would benefit all computer users, no matter what video card or CPU they use.
The problem: NVidia will not license SLI chipset code to Intel. Why? They have their own chipsets - they are competitors.
This will hopefully unfold into a major benefit for system builders, having a single chipset that has the ability to run GPU cards in both Crossfire and SLI.
It would certainly make motherboard selection a bit easier.
