nVidia working on new 780a and 770i chipsets

AMD recently launched the SB750, which in combination with Advanced Clock Calibration (ACC) showed better overclock performance for Pheneom processors. The SB750 is linked to AMD's 790GX chipst and a refresh of the 790FX chipset. nVidia also wishes to utilize ACC and is therefore working on a refresh of the nForce 780a SLI chipset. The latest version of the nForce 780a SLI will have a different southbridge and more overclocking options in the BIOS. 

nVidia's also working on the nForce 770i for Intel socket LGA775, which will be a budget version of the nForce 790i SLI chipset. The nForce 770i is to become nVidia's competitor for Intel's P45 chipset. It's likely that nVidia's new chipset will support SLI an a PCI-E 2.0 x8 / x8 setup and DDR3 memory.
