AMD and Intel produce HyperTransport
The Register | at | by Mike
AMD's next-generation PC I/O technology, HyperTransport, will almost certainly become a part of Intel's next-generation PC I/O technology, 3GIO, just as we predicted it would. Staffers at both companies have said they are indeed working to bring the two, rival specifications together, EBN reports today. As we reported yesterday, AMD is now a member of the Arapahoe Work Group, the consortium of companies working to define the 3GIO spec. And, as a member of the PCI Special Interest Group, AMD earlier this month voted that the body should accept 3GIO as the heir apparent to PCI and PCI-X.
