nForce3 For 2003?

x-bit labs has posted some info picked up from VIDILab Croatian magazine ‘detailing’ NVIDIA’s plans for future socket A and socket 754 nForce products.

While AMD continues to postpone its x86-64 processors, the chipset caravan has to keep going and bring new and exciting solutions to the market. The creator of the most advanced Socket A chipset, NVIDIA Corporation reportedly wants to continue its lead among the companies who provide the most powerful and feature-rich integrated core-logic sets; as VIDILab Croatian magazine reports in the issue available this weekend, in the course of this year NVIDIA plans to unveil both Socket A and Socket 754 intended products with the GeForce FX architecture derivative graphics cores inside.

Reportedly, the company has plans for another nForce family of chipsets for AMD Socket A processors. Being AMD’s closest chipset partner, NVIDIA is able to get the information about faster chips from the Sunnyvale-based semiconductor firm and to offer the fastest product among all competitors. NVIDIA is looking forward to bring another nForce series of core-logic products with its integrated graphics core with DirectX 9.0 support (maybe it is all about the code-name NV34 core?) and other cool features. Note that NVIDIA is not really fast in developing its core-logic products and always brings its solutions to the market half a year after the announcement. Therefore, it will be an epic of heroism for the company to actually bring its nForce3 this Summer. In fact, I have numerous doubts that it will happen, but, at least, NVIDIA has such plans and that is the point.
