NVIDIA's original nForce chipset was born as an AMD platform and it continued to be designed firstly for AMD and then adapted to use on the Intel platform. Since the nForce 4, NVIDIA has traditionally released the AMD version of the chipset before Intel. However, this week marks the launch of the sixth generation of the nForce chipset family and NVIDIA has chosen to push out the Intel version first. This course of action doesn't really come as a surprise however, because NVIDIA has not really updated its Intel chipsets since the nForce 4 Intel Edition and doesn't have a corresponding chipset to properly support Intel's new Core 2 Duo processor platform.
