Quad SLI hits the mainstream? {Engadget}

Mar 10th 2006 6:29PM While this is preatty awesome, it is hardly hitting anywhere near "mainstream". Dual GPU setups are not even mainstream, and probably never will be, unless there is a large shift towards putting two chips on one board.

Putting two chips on the same board, or even two cards on the same motherboard is still a cheap hack, kinda like how intel made its first "dual core" processors which was really just two dies next to eachother on one board, not truly dual core; it is also , unfortunately, how they are planning on doing their initial quad core chips..

#5, Both ATI an nVidia have shifted to 90nm, and technically graphics cards have been multicore for a while. Currently the basic pixel processing units, pipelines, have increased to 48 or 24 on the high end cards.
