Hello? Nvidia did not get a QPI-license, that's whay they concentrate on the socket 1160 Nehalems - they don't use QPI.Reply

Could you please elaborate? What do they use if not QPI? Google is failing me at the moment :( -
cmmcnamara This article specifically says, and I copy paste here: "reached an agreement with Intel and received a Quick Path Interconnect (QPI) license". It says that NVIDIA will initially only offer entry level and mid range segments, initially implying that high end solutions are likely to come at a later date. Someone take a class on analyzing basic sentence structure yeesh.Reply
