    C.1.1 The UPA is a cache-coherent processor-to-memory interconnect. A key advantage of the UPA processor-to-memory interconnect is a scalable bandwidth through support of multiple bussed interconnects for both data and address. Other advantages include more bandwidth, high-performance graphics support with two-cycle, single-word writes on the 64-bit UPA data bus, and centralized coherence and memory controller functions.

  • Page 191 C.1.5 Graphics and Imaging (Workstation Only) The system unit takes advantage of UPA features to provide high performance graphics through the fast frame buffer (FFB). The FFB consists of the frame buffer controller (FBC), the 3D RAM (3DRAM), the RAM digital-to-analog converter (RAMDAC), and associated circuitry.
