At a peak throughput of up to 6.4 GB/sec. bi-directional per link, HyperTransport Technology provides
an I/O solution for the most demanding system applications. The AMD Opteron processor with built-in
HyperTransport Technology links provides a scalable bandwidth interconnect between processors, I/O
subsystems, and other chipsets. Sun Microsystems was a founding member of the HyperTransport
Technology consortium.
System Performance Enhancements
HyperTransport Technology is designed to increase overall system performance by helping to remove
I/O bottlenecks, which improves bandwidth and reduces latency.
