Nvidia is planning to launch its Intel-based nForce 780i chipset in December this year, however mass shipments will not occur until January next year, according to sources at motherboard makers.


The nForce 780 SLI chipset will be available to two forms, the nForce 780i SLI (C72 XE) supporting Intel and nForce 780a SLI (C72 P) supporting AMD, noted the sources.


The nForce 780i will target Intel’s X38 chipsets as its major competitor. It will support PCI Express 2.0 and 3-way SLI technology with three PCI Express x16 slots. Motherboard pricing will be around US$200, noted the sources.


With most of the features of the 780i similar to those of the X38 with the added benefit of 3-way SLI, some motherboard makers expect the chipset to have a good chance of performing well in the market. The chipset will also feature Nvidia’s ESA (enthusiast system architecture) to monitor the PC hardware status, added the sources


In related news, Nvidia’s support for DDR3 will show up in the first quarter next year, according to the sources.

================================================== ========
A lot of sources have proclaimed that the motherboard is more of a finetuning of the 680 motherboards and that it isnt very revolutionary at all. However there is support for three graphics cards in SLI and most likely 8 gigs of DDR3 memory.

If I were U i wait & then go 4 it

but we get 680i for 5k and 3-way sli and 8gigs of ddr3 means nothing to most of us.i'm upgrading in Q1 next yr. so a early jan release might benefit me.
