Introducing "Tritium": NVIDIA’s system-wide component platform

Several weeks ago, HardOCP and HKEPC (English) published some preliminary details on the NVIDIA Tritium platform. NVIDIA’s vision is to combine several different components, from memory to video cards to motherboards, all under the Tritium certification. Motherboards, for example, will undergo a strict set of criteria that, if satisfied, will receive special certification from NVIDIA said to "maximize overall system performance."

NVIDIA certainly has an aspiring project on its hands, raising the bar quite a bit from what overclockers have traditionally considered sacred on only a few motherboards. The important thing to recognize is that when all of the right components are in place, the system will overclock itself, though one can still tweak things manually.

We expect to see announcements from NVIDIA and some of the Tritium partners within the next few weeks about specific compliance, but only a few partners will have components at the AM2 launch. However, don’t get too comfortable with the name Tritium. NVIDIA has not registered it with the USPTO.
