	The groundbreaking technology is titled the HYDRA Engine. The accomplishment of the engine is nothing short of unbelievable to those who follow the graphics industry. It uses hardware and software to allow virtually any AMD/ATI and NVIDIA GPU to work together and share workloads with the CPU, scaling programs almost linearly. You could probably call the HYDRA Engine CrossFire-SLI, though you might run into a spot of legal trouble in trying to do so.

If this works....it's going to be absolutely incredible---linear scaling with as many graphics cards as you can handle, independent of ATI/Nvidia....just hope they can avoid licensing and driver trouble. After I can't really see Nvidia letting Intel pretty much cut them out of their own chipset market.

So really its hanging on weather Microshaft allow multiple display drivers to run at the same time. *fingers crossed cos this looks amazing*

Anandtech managed to ask some questions about it so here's some more information.

And again

Sadly though I really can't see Nvidia/ATI letting Intel get away with this----on the other hand if anyone could do it....
