AMD Doesn't Want You To Think NVIDIA is a Robin Hood

Do you remember the story behind Robin Hood? He is a man known for robbing the rich to give to the poor and fighting against injustice and tyranny! Well, AMD doesn't want you to think that NVIDIA is going SLI away with today's announcement that SLI will be licensed to Intel X58 Express platforms. The story I wrote about it today sums this up in the title: NVIDIA Enables SLI on Intel X58 Chipsets For a Fee. AMD still feels strongly that multi-GPU technology should be free for it to be a success and I'd have to agree. Tell us what you think in the forums!

AMD's position has been open as a platform since day when they first launched the technology in June of 2006. ATI doesn't charge a licensing fee or fee to validate CrossFire support, so CrossFire costs consumers nothing. If you get SLI certified they forbid another graphics card logo to be placed on the box.
