Asus P5N-T Deluxe nForce 780i Motherboard Preview

[jotoa]

The year 2007 is almost past and we have seen a lot of changes. Intel still going strong with their Core 2 Duo and Quad cpu's and the popularity for the P35, X38 and the up and coming X48 chipsets left nVidia on the back burner for a while now. There have been alot of issues with the nForce680i chipset in the past and the 780i should solve most of them. Strange part is that the 780i is in fact a 680i with an added additional PCIe 2.0 bridge chipset. Here is a shot of the board and it's layout, do keep in mind that this is not the retail version.

Here are some specs;
- Support Intel® next generation 45nm Multi-core CPU*
- Intel® Quad-core CPU Ready*
- Intel® Core™2 Extreme/Core™2 Duo Ready
- NVIDIA nForce® 680i SLI™ plus PCIe 2.0 bridge
- NVIDIA Triple-SLI™ Ready
- Dual-channel DDR2 800/667/533
- 1333/1066/800/533MHz
- Stack Cool2 and Heat-pipe Thermal Solution
- 8 Phase Power Design


Here is a shot taken viewed from the top. Sorry for the lame picture quality but my camara broke down so I had to take these with my Nokia N73;-) As you can see it looks simulair to the Asus P5N32- E SLI apart from the extra usb connector and the PCIe 2.0 bridge.

Bem, parece que temos nova proposta para Triple SLi e já com PCIe 2.0.

Nforce 780i chega dia 17 de Dezembro 2007



O MCP78 terá o nickname retail de Nforce 780i, e terá o lançamento agendado para 17 de Dezembro e provavelmente só haverá stock em quantidade nas primeiras semanas de Janeiro.

A nova revisão de chipset irá suportar processadores Intel Quad core QX9650, e esta é a grande razão para o atraso não programado no lançamento do referido chipset.





Depois do lançamento do 780i, irá sair um novo chipset, provavelmente com o nickname 790i, que suportará DDR3 e Triple SLI.

O actual MCP78 ou 780i, como lhe quiserem chamar, tem apenas suporte para DDR2. É de aproveitar enquanto os preços estão relativamente acessíveis.
