nForce5 isn’t a revolutionary new product. If it was, nVidia might have considered amalgamating the SPP and MCP of the 590 SLI into one package. Instead, this is basically a revision of an already excellent product – nForce4. I have no complaints that it has decided to add in some extra features that shouldn’t cost us any more than nForce4 products do. nForce4 has been amazingly successful and I expect nForce5 to do just as well, with or without the help of useless features like LinkBoost. AM2 performance is looking healthy offsetting the higher latency of DDR2 quite happily. However, if the hype is to be believed it won’t be fast enough to compete with Intel’s Core 2 Duo. I will return to both AM2 and Core 2 Duo at a later point, hopefully with an nForce5 Intel Edition to boot. Read full review
