General
HyperTransport provides a point-to-point interconnect that can be extended to support a wide range of devices. Figure 2-1 on page 21 illustrates a sample HT system with four internal links. HyperTransport provides a high-speed, high-performance, point-to-point dual simplex link for interconnecting IC components on a PCB. Data is transmitted from one device to another across the link.
Figure 2-1. Example HyperTransport System
The width of the link along with the clock frequency at which data is transferred are scalable:
Link width ranges from 2 bits to 32-bits
Clock Frequency ranges from 200MHz to 800MHz (and 1GHz in the future)
This scalability ...
