Over the past few months has received very little information about new developments nVidia, but that is no reason to think that the manufacturer is not involved. Manufacturing chipset is an important source of income for nVidia, and, according to the source, the manufacturer is actively engaged in this market, and even plans to introduce new chipsets for Intel platforms, and AMD.

Currently, nVidia is actively working on two new chips to Intel processors, one of whom, namely, MCP89, is designed for platforms with socket LGA 775, and second, MCP99, will work in the platforms of the socket, LGA 1156. MCP89 chipset will support Intel processors with FSB 1333MGts and DDR3-1333 memory and graphics DirectX 10, its mass production will begin.

MCP99 chipset production may not begin, as at the beginning of this year, Intel has filed a lawsuit on nVidia, which states that the license agreement entered into by companies that can not produce nVidia chipsets for processors with integrated memory controller (Integrated Memory Controller, IMC). Theoretically MCP99 for 45nm and 32nm processors LGA 1156, ie processors with IMC. If the company oneself, the mass production of MCP99 will also be open, and probably motherboards on this chipset will be presented at CeBIT. It would be very nice to have an alternative to its own chipsets Intel, P55/P57.
