Definition GTL+ GTL+ is the bus technology used by the Intel Pentium Pro processor. This is an incident wave switching, open-drain bus with pull-up resistors that provide both the high logic level and termination. It is an enhancement to the GTL (Gunning Transceiver Logic) bus technology.
The advanced transfer cache is a 256 KB (512 KB for the Intel Pentium 4 processor with 512-KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron process), on-die level 2 cache with an increased bandwidth over previous micro-architectures. The floating point and multi- media units have been improved by making the registers 128 bits wide and adding a separate register for data movement.

AGP is based on a set of performance extensions or enhancements to the PCI bus. The Intel 850 chipset employs an AGP interface that is optimized for a point-to-point topology using 1.5 V signaling in 4x mode. The 4x mode provides a peak bandwidth of 1066 MB/s.
By using an audio codec, the AC-link allows for cost-effective, high-quality, integrated audio on the Intel 850 chipset platform. In addition, an AC’97 soft modem can be implemented with the use of a modem codec. Several system options exist when implementing AC’97. The ICH2 integrated digital link allows two external codecs to be connected to the ICH2 in several configurations.
— especially during sequential operations. Users of new Intel 850 chipset-based systems will need less time to boot their systems and open applications, a direct result of the improved throughput provided by Ultra ATA. Current disk drive technology has been optimized to perform within the limits of the legacy protocol (16.6 MB/s).
1.4.3 Platform Manageability The Intel 850 chipset platform integrates several functions designed to manage the system and lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the system. These system management functions are designed to report errors, diagnose the system and recover from system lockups without the aid of an external micro-controller.
