"The word "SLI" has been mentioned several times during the day by various Intel employees, and I was starting to wonder if it wasn't just a slip up. Had NVIDIA finally licensed SLI technology to Intel to use on their chipsets?

The answer is more complicated than it should be it appears: NVIDIA has NOT licensed SLI to any chipsets from Intel, but what they have done, as I am hearing it, is allowed Intel to license it for this ONE SINGLE MOTHERBOARD."
