It would be a crying shame to see SLi go the way of the dodo, but if you keep something too close to your chest and don't let others play, they will find another game to play, and tell you to F*/k off...
Oops. Nv just took this too far.
Had they opened up, ala XFire, they might have been in for a win...
Its too late now (for chipset business) even if they do open up, it will just enable SLi on all mobos, and that would be the best option now.
Keep some face and say, "Have it for free, we should have done this a long time ago."
Then just keep doing graphics chips, and a 'special operations' R&D for high-powered integrated chipsets for Apple.
With Apple, they have only to design for a closed platform, so its a lot easier than trying to make something compatible with X number of different hardware...
