Nvidia has announced Intel-oriented versions of the nForce 500-series chipsets it rolled out last month for AMD’s new Socket AM2 processors in time for the Computex show in Taipei. The line-up includes three parts: the 570 Ultra, 570 SLI and 590 SLI.

All three support Intel’s Core 2 Duo and Core2 Extreme processors, along with other LGA-775 CPUs. The 590 provides 48 PCI Express lanes to the 570’s 20, allowing it to support twin x16 connectors, while the 570 is limited to two x8 slots for SLI.
