Nvidia looks like they might just take over the chipset business too. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/eek.gif) If what these 2 articles say are true the other chipset makers have much to fear: Integrated GF 2 Mx video card, Integrated sound more advanced than any available soundcard on the market, dual channel DDR Ram support (provides even more bandwidth than dual channel rambus! ). There are also a TON of other features. The Athlon already beats the P4 pretty easily, now it will absolutely destroy it.
(If I were Intel I might be a little afraid now. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) They might want to consider licensing Nvidia to make that P3 version afterall... )

This one has some statements about performance. If what they say is true, the numbers are truely impressive. (One test, copying a large file, literally got cut in 1/2!) Memory bandwidth is at least 30% greater than current systems and up to 300% greater in some tests.
