I am pretty sure that there have been professional motherboards before, to wit this Quadro NVS 210S by MSI, released a while ago:

It only has 16 stream processors, and the only difference between Quadro and Geforce is hamstrung drivers (in the old days that meant that the Quadros couldn't game, I don't know if that is still true, but the "pro" features of the Geforce are probably still out.)

I know this is supposed to be big news (and indeed TomsHardware is pimping the "first Integrated Quadro"), but if they aren't really offering anything new why the false reporting?

As for the "low-profile" card, that is great, if it offered dual GPUs and quad monitor support like the last low-profile quadro could.
