Despite of the reports on necessity to redesign mainboards based on NVIDIA’s nForce4 SLI chipset, NVIDIA Corp. says there are hardly any problems with the products’ time-to-market and at least some of such platforms will hit the shelves in December with a model from ASUSTeK possible to arrive shortly from now.
“We haven’t heard of any of our partners having to “re-design” their mainboards. I am not sure how or why those rumors get started in the first place,” said Bryan Del Rizzo, Platform Products PR Manager for NVIDIA Corp. in Santa Clara, California.
A report over X-bit labs submitted on Monday based on stories from Asian web-sites claimed that some mainboard makers had to redesign their NVIDIA nForce4 SLI-based mainboards and only then initiate mass-production of such products, which would have affected availability dates for the platforms. However, it seems that at least three mainboard companies – ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte Technology – are not going to delay their product launches because of redesign issues.
