While we can't say much about the Crush 11/12 chipsets from NVIDIA just yet, a few motherboard manufacturers already jumped the gun and are displaying NVIDIA based motherboards in their booths.

We will provide more information on NVIDIA's first entries into the chipset market later this week.

ATI

We haven't had a chance to make it over to the ATI booth just yet, but we did run into an ATI video card as we were browsing through the motherboard manufacturers' booths. That was at FIC, where we saw an OEM Radeon on display. The board was clearly manufactured by ATI, but is a clear indication that FIC will be taking advantage of ATI's recently announcement that they will no longer by the sole provider of boards based on their chips. This is a huge change in ATI's business model that will hopefully allow them to focus 100% on R&D so that they can keep up with NVIDIA's aggressive six month product cycles.
