and AMD Phenom processors, and replaces the nForce 600 series chipsets. Several members were spotted, including the codenamed ''MCP72'' for AMD processors and the ''C72'' for Intel processors, launched with the name "nForce 780a" and "nForce 780i" chipsets respectively. Currently, the released variants are the 750i, 780i, 790i, and 790i Ultra.
