NVIDIA has also prepared enthusiast segment nForce 590 SLI and performance segment nForce 570 SLI motherboards for Intel's Core 2 processors. These motherboards will compete against the Intel 975X Express chipset, but information about performance has been withheld due to non-disclosure agreement restrictions. Some nForce 4 SLI Intel Edition and nForce 4 Ultra motherboards will also be updated to support Core 2.
