AGP 2X Transfers
During AGP 2X transfers, clocking is basically the same as in 1X transfers except that the 66-MHz
CLK signal is used to qualify only the control signals. The data bytes are latched by an additional
strobe (AD_STBx) signal so that an 8-byte transfer occurs in one CLK cycle (Figure 4-6). The first
four bytes (DnA) are latched by the receiving agent on the falling edge of AD_STBx and the
second four bytes (DnB) are latched on the rising edge of AD_STBx. The signal level for AGP 2X
transfers may be 3.3 or 1.5 VDC.

AGP 4X Transfers
The AGP 4X transfer rate allows sixteen bytes of data to be transferred in one clock cycle. As in
2X transfers the 66-MHz CLK signal is used only for qualifying control signals while strobe
signals are used to latch each 4-byte transfer on the AD lines. As shown in Figure 4-7, 4-byte block
DnA is latched by the falling edge of AD_STBx while DnB is latched by the falling edge of
AD_STBx-. The signal level for AGP 4X transfers is 1.5 VDC.
