Information about characteristics and announcement periods of the new NVIDIA chipset for Intel platform we already recently published in our news section. Obscure remained only situation with the symbols of bonds "C55 + MCP55PXE" and "C55 + MCP51". The north bridge C55 is considered as the simply component part of the new chipset version nForce 590 sli Intel Edition. However, taking into account the difference within the periods of announcement and functionality of these chipset, correctly would be the use for the designation bond "C55 + MCP55PXE" .
Associates reported that the first models of DFI motherboards on base of this bond are already under construction, and in the appropriate solution appeared the name - NF680I SLI. How to understand th latter "I" after the number "680": in this case indicate "Intel Edition". So directly chipset will be called "nForce 680 sli Intel Edition".
Motherboard DFI on the bond "C55 + MCP51" will be called on name NF650I SLI. Judging by everything, the following NVIDIA chipset class mainstream for platform Intel will get the name "nForce 650 sli Intel Edition". Of course until know these are only our assumptions, made on the basis of analysis using DFI designations, but we will try to obtain additional details about these chipsets.
