heard from NVIDIA's Drew Henry that the company won't make a new DMI chipset for Intel processors. Last year the company said they would make a chipset for Intel's LGA1156 processors but this plan has been axed.
He said that environment created by Intel was not healthy for their business model and therefore they have decided not to go after that product. This is definitely a change of plans as Nvidia was telling us last year roughly at the same time that they will go and launch a DMI chipset but not QPI.
They will continue to license the SLI for many motherboards including P55 and some future ones but they won’t be making any DMI chipset with an integrated IGP. It looks like this is the end of the high end and mainstream chipset from Nvidia for Intel CPUs.
