Digitimes reports that Nvidia will launch MCP7A and MCP7C integrated video chipsets in August to better compete against Intel integrated offerings.

This is apparently a response to the lackluster sales of the MCP73 compared to the Intel 3x series of IGP solutions; and Nvidia will apparently release the MCP7A in April with the MCP7C to follow in August.

Sources indicate that the MCP7A-U and the MCP7A-S will both feature 1333MHz FSB, DX-10 support, HDMI, DVI, HDCP, HyrbidSLI and PureVideo HD, and unlike the MCP73 that featured only a signle memory channel, they will feature dual memory channels. Supposedly MCP7A-U motherboards will be around $80 FOB and the MCP7A-S will be $5-$10 less expensive.

The MCP7C will apparently be a cut-down MCP7A, and will only have one memory channel - but motherboards based on it are expected to be priced $60-$65 FOB.
