Intel licenses SLI-technology from Nvidia

article published on 12 August, 2009

Intel has licensed Scalable Link Interface (SLI) technology from Nvidia for use with its new Nehalem processors and chipsets. Intel Nehalem is the successor to the Core microarchitecture, and uses a 45-nanometer manufacturing method. The first processor released using the architecture is Intel's Core i7.

i don't understand why GFX card company are siding with CPU companies.

I think you missunderstand something...
You can get an Intel mainboard that supports both, with SLI or Crossfire. You can also get an AMD mainboard that does the same.

AMD&ATI are the same company, and this gives them a big head-start in the all-in-one chip market that is just around the corner (both AMD and intel now designing multi-core chips with mid-high end graphics built in). Intel knows that they cannot compete with ATI in graphics (Intel's latest and greatest video is not as good as a 3-year-old ATI laptop video chip). Their only solution was to band together with Nvidia. Nvidia also benifits from this, as they will recieve a lot of technologies from intel's CPU devision (ATI took off a few months after AMD bought them for the same reason).
