A HEAP OF X38 chipsets sitting in the mobo channel is prompting Taiwanese wire Digitimes to report Intel may postpone the introduction of the X48 by a month or two.

The unnamed mobo maker is perhaps being a little hopeful that Intel will get it out of a hole it has dug for itself.

The same report said other mobo makers aren't sitting on mountains of X38 chipsets and will feel pain if Intel succumbs to the blandishments of the " first tier motherboard maker".

Intel, said Digitimes, hasn't commented on the plaintive cry for help. µ

X38/X48 based boards can get SLI

But need a board redesign



Intel engineers told us that you can get X38 and X48 reference design to support SLI but you would have to put Nvidia's SLI chip inside.

It won't happen anytime soon, the sources added as it would mean that Intel has to change its X38 and X48 reference design and this simply won’t happen.

It would be a defeat if Intel does it and as far as we know this won't happen anytime soon. However, partners should be able to implement this chip and bring you X38 or X48 based motherboard with SLI support.
