NVIDIA has concrete plans to take up chipset manufacturing for ULPC, and nettop platforms based on the Intel Atom processor. With its visual computing expertise and platform core logic technologies, NVIDIA hopes to cash in on the segment in need for better consumer value than what it already enjoys. VR-Zone pictured the reference design nettop PC that uses the Intel Atom processor, aided by NVIDIA's MCP79 chipset.

The chipset is monolithic, and handles the jobs of a memory controller, graphics controller, and a peripheral hub. The chipset sits on a 10-layer PCB motherboard, which gives you an idea on the component density of the MCP79. The platform supports single core and dual core Atom processors. It supports single channel DDR3 memory in speeds up to the PC3-10666 (1333 MHz), with connections to a SO-DIMM module. A GeForce 9 series integrated graphics controller provides display output through DVI-I. There is a gigabit ethernet controller, and 8-channel HD audio. The front portion of the chassis provides a larger portion of the connections, which includes the audio (including optical SPDIF), USB 2.0, and eSATA. NVIDIA will allow OEM vendors to make their own case designs housing the platform.

The launch of Core i7 processors may have kicked off in great fanfare, given that the industry has been preparing rigorously for its launch since the turn of Q2 2008, but sources at motherboard vendors tell DigiTimes that it might be as long as Q3 2009, by the time sales and shipments really pickup. Intel on its part, has already claimed to have shipped over 100,000 Core i7 units. The odd thing about Core i7's launch is its timing. It comes at a time when Intel's desktop processors are successful in the market, and that Intel didn't stall its related technology development to pave the way for it.

Patriot Memory, a global provider of premium quality memory module and flash memory solutions, celebrated the launch of the Intel Core i7/Intel X58 Express Chipset by debuting its first retail wide release of the Viper Series Extreme Performance PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600) 6GB & 3GB Tri-Channel Enhanced Latency Kits at Micro Center.

"We tested the Patriot Viper Series 6GB 1600MHz Kit with the Asus P6T; it worked flawlessly - good bang for your buck in performance memory" added by Jerrod Alatalo, Product Manager at Micro Center.

Today, Intel made its newest piece of silicon, the Core i7 series processor official with the introduction of three models based on the newer architecture, and socket. One of the significant feature-additions for Core i7 is the 192-bit wide DDR3 memory bus, meaning that memory modules in groups of three or six can be used to make use of the triple-channel memory controller the processors come with.

For memory vendors, it means selling kits consisting of three or six modules of 1 GB or 2 GB per module, resulting in 3 GB, 6 GB or potentially, a 12 GB kit (consisting of six 2 GB modules). Corsair, on its part, has been advertising the benefits of 4 GB system memory in the recent past, in a bit to sell its 2x 2GB kits. One of the important benefits Corsair noted was, that it benefited today's games. Come Core i7, and Corsair thinks 6 GB of memory would significantly benefit gaming PCs based on the Core i7 processors. The company released a whitepaper, in which gaming performance between Core i7-based systems equipped with 3 GB and 6 GB of memory were compared.

A-Data launched eight new tri-channel DDR3 memory kits for the soon to be released Intel Core i7 processor platform. The company built these eight SKUs by 3GB (3 x 1GB) and 6GB (3 x 2GB) variants each of four models: XPG X Series, XPG + Series, XPG G Series and base-model Standard series.

The X Series is advertised to offer "outstanding performance", targeted to extreme overclocking enthusiasts. The G Series is branded for gaming performance. The + series consisting of Viesta modules is more of a mainstream product, while the base-model is a standard module tested to operate at the lowest voltages at its rated frequencies. Additionally, there are 1600 MHz variants of + Series and G Series, in 3 GB and 6 GB capacities.
