HyperTransport

alternateorg on July 31, 2001

Here is an interesting article on HyperTransport.



Looks like it’s shaping up to be a face-off between Intel and its lapdogs (direct quote from the article, not mine) and the rest of the computer industry (which includes nVidia, Cisco and Sun). Interestingly, Apple is the only PC manufacturer on the HyperTransport consortium, with the rest of the PC industry squarely in the aforementioned lapdog category. Not that they’d have a choice anyway – they are little more than package and distribution channels for Intel and Microsoft these days.



Strangely enough, the article doesn’t mention the big fence-sitter – IBM, whose membership could decide the winner.



Macintosh and XBox sharing the same system architecture – imagine that!
