FPSLabs Home: Intel Skulltrail supports NVIDIA Quad SLI

Intel's Steve Smith shows off SLI capable monster server board.
Via The Inquirer: "At this year's IDF, Steve Smith of Intel fame explained that Skulltrail is sporting support for dual, and even Quad graphics when Nvidia decides to work on the support of four graphics cards at the same time. The motherboard shown below is the key part of Intel's gaming attack coming in late Q4 or perhaps Q1'08, if it slips during debug phase. You can see that this is not your server board model from the first generation of Intel's V8, but rather a true enthusiast motherboard with a nice amount of PCIe 2.0 slots for graphics cards. Sadly, it is based on first generation server chipset named Stoakley, so it supports only FB-DIMMs. However, other options speak alot to high-end enthusiasts, regardless of being from gaming or professional side of things."


Do you believe SLI will eventually be standard on Intel chipsets?
Yes, it makes sense to combine forces against AMD/ATI
No, NVIDIA might have closer ties, but would never give competition to it's own nForce brand.
Not until AMD/ATI start kicking some ass.
