HyperTransport technology does not and will not make EIDE hard drives faster nor will it speed up USB or will it make memory or processors faster, although it can drastically reduce the latency between these devices. However, HyperTransport technology could be incorporated into the integrated circuits, such as the forthcoming Hammer processors from AMD, and where applicable, in order to assist in boosting performance. So what…will it be faster? The simple answer is yes, but how much faster depends on how HyperTransport technology is implemented. If all vehicles had the same tune-up, then they would all run faster or have more horsepower or at least have greater fuel efficiency; but each in their own way.

Universal Serial Bus System Architecture. The latest version, HyperTransport 3. Routers and switches have multiple network interfaces, and must forward data between these ports as fast as possible. Retrieved 17 January HyperTransport can also be used as a bus in routers and switches. HyperTransport is packet -based, where each packet consists of a set of bit words, regardless of the physical width of the link.
It also supports link splitting, where a single bit link can be divided into two 8-bit links. For instance, a Pentium cannot be plugged into a PCI Express bus directly, but must first go through an adapter to expand the hypertrransport. He has authored 14 books covering various aspects of computer hardware and system design.
PCI Express Technology 3. The primary use for HyperTransport is to replace the Intel-defined front-side buswhich is different for every type of Intel processor. Transfers are always padded to a multiple of 32 bits, regardless of their actual length. In contrast, HyperTransport is an open specification, published by a multi-company consortium. HyperTransport TM technology has revolutionized microprocessor core interconnect.
Posted writes do not require a response from the target. Technical and de facto standards for wired computer buses. Books in the series are intended for use by hardware and software designers, programmers, and support hypertranport. Many inrerconnect contain a bit address. The Rise of Chinggis Khan. Add to that There are two kinds of write commands supported: With the advent of version 3.
Dawn of the Mongol Empire. For the past 10 years he has been teaching and developing courses on processors and IO bus architectures for MindShare. Don Anderson has over 30 years of experience in the technical interonnect and computer industry. It serves as the central interconnect technology for nearly all of AMDs microprocessors as well as for a rich ecosystem of other microprocessors, system controllers, graphics processors, network processors, and communications semiconductors.
Don has trained thousands of engineers in the US and around the world. Related Articles.

Overview[ edit ] Links and rates[ edit ] HyperTransport comes in four versions—1. It is also a DDR or " double data rate " connection, meaning it sends data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal. The operating frequency is autonegotiated with the motherboard chipset North Bridge in current computing. With the advent of version 3.
