nvidia nforce 740i

 

NVIDIA plans to convert the old MCP55 chipset, changed its name to the main Intel nForce 740i entry-level market, and only support the original dual-x8 SLI’s nForce 750i, will be upgraded to support dual x16 SLI, and 4 new generation of Intel chipset series mainstream a week.

It is understood that because of previous generations MCP55 chipset sales are only general, to speed up the inventory of, NVIDIA plans to code-named C55 + MCP51 the nForce 650i chipset, renamed as the nForce 740i, mainly on the prices of about 85 to 120 Dollar mainstream Intel motherboard market.

nForce 740i will support a maximum 1333 MHz FSB, support groups x8 PCI-E SLI configuration, PCI-Express 1.1a specifications, memory support Dual Channel maximum speed of DDR2-800.

In addition, the new nForce 740i models, NVIDIA nForce 750i also upgraded the specifications of the chip using NVIDIA C72, originally only supported by two-x8 PCI-E configuration, upgrade to dual x16 PCI-E configuration, specifications to enhance against Intel P45 Chipset.

Is that the motherboard industry, NVIDIAnForce 740i just old wine in new bottles, specifications than rival Intel P43 backward, is more important to MCP55 support Intel 45nm processors in a lot of problems, the motherboard needs to change substantially the line, in order to the old crystal Laoshidongzhong film does not comply with the economic benefits, so the desire to launch nForce 740i little.

According to the latest Intel platform, NVIDIA chipset planning, in addition to the entry-level nForce 740i, performance-class 750 i, also will launch high-end nForce 780i (DDR2), nForce 790i (DDR3) and the application of the audience for overclocking nForce 790i Ultra, full Enter the Intel chip set, Intel 4 series from the United States.
