Quote:Just like their real life counterpart, buses in computers are one of the most ignored technologies when it shouldn't be. The example people make of having a Ferrari for a trip to the local supermarket as being overkill can be applied to computers. You can have the fastest processor in the world that can compute more data than anything before it, but if the infrastructure can't cope then you have the Ferrari situation, all the power and not enough road to use it. Wider and faster buses are the answer, but as easy as they are to say, the implementation of such a solution leads to many factors being considered such as economics and production viability. The consortium behind HyperTransport had to weigh these factors up when producing a technology that will be such an integral part of the Athlon 64.
