NVIDIA nForce4 Professional Launch Overview

January 31st 2005 | nForce Pro

Socket 940 just got sexy again. Uniprocessor Opteron and Athlon FX systems get PCI Express and arguably the best disk and networking controllers on the market. SMP Opteron gets everything in counts of two or four, over and above the base CK8-04 configuration and feature set. Board partners seem to be ignoring uniprocessor for the time being, dual and quad Opteron getting massive of nForce4 love from the likes of Tyan.

I’ll grab myself a pair of Opterons and some of the first mainboards to hit the market, to let you know just how nForce4 Professional’s paper promise holds up the cold light of benchmarks and analysis. A 2200 + 2050 mainboard looks exactly what the doctor ordered for the workstation professional, and the server vendor looking to cram lots of I/O bandwidth into a single system.
