Introducing "Tritium": NVIDIA's System-Wide Component Platform

@ 2006/05/11
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.

NVIDIA: YO! Motherboard manufacturers! Make your boards awesomer!

MOBO MANUFACTURERS: Erm... okay. Well, we were already kinda' planning on...

NVID: AWESOMER! I SAID AWESOM ER!

MOBOS: I'm not sure that's a word, frankly.

NVID: And put our name on it.

MOBOS: Huh? Why should we put your name on this?

NVID: Look at this list we drew! Of all the components! The components to make the motherboard yet awesomer.

MOBOS: Seriously, stop using that word. Besides, most of our enthusiast level motherboards are already fairly awesome...

ASROCK: Not mine!

MOBOS: Yeah, not ASRock's. (they all laugh) But seriously, how much performance increase do you expect to get out of this purported list of yours? Given a modicum of skill and high performance components, can't an experienced overclocker already achieve the equivalent performance boost without having to rely on automatic, "black box" overclocking?

NVID: Don't forget to put our name on it.

MOBOS: Seriously, how much of a performance boost do you expect?

NVID: About US $50-100 per board sold.

MOBOS: AWESOME!

NVID: AWESOME ER !
