NVIDIA will be releasing the nForce 700 series chipset for both AMD and Intel platforms in the month of November. The nForce 780i for the Intel platform is set to have a hard launch on November 12, the same day the G92 and G98 are rumored to be available in shops. The new chipset will support 1066 FSB Core 2 processors, 1333 FSB processors, and the upcoming 45nm Yorkfield and Wolfdale processors. It will also have three PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots ready for Tri-SLI, two Gigabit Ethernet controllers, and six SATA 3.0 ports. While the C72 (780i) only supports DDR2, NVIDIA plans to release the C73 chipset with DDR3 support in the first quarter of 2008.
According to VR-Zone, NVIDIA is to release its latest GPU, namely the G92, in November. It doesn't really come as a surprise due to the fact that NVIDIA's timetable placed their next GPU near to the end of this year.
NVIDIA will also launch its next generation of PCI Express 2.0 SLI chipsets for both Intel and AMD. The C73 and C72 chipsets for Intel support 45nm Yorkfield and Wolfdale processors. For AMD, there will be the MCP72, supporting AM2+ Phenom processors. The main differences between the C73 and C72 are FSB and memory speed ( 1600MHz FSB and memory for the C73, and 1333MHz FSB and memory for the C72 ). Each chipset will come in 2 flavors, the "XE" which supports 3x16 SLI is priced at $150, and the "P" version, which supports 2x8 SLI, is priced at about $100. The MCP72 series is likely to be the only chipset to support Hybrid SLI.
