• HyperTransport technology is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to increase the communication speed between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and telecommunications equipment up to 48 times faster than some existing technologies.
• HyperTransport technology helps reduce the number of buses in a system, which can reduce system bottlenecks and enable today's faster microprocessors to use system memory more efficiently in high-end multiprocessor systems.
• HyperTransport technology is designed to:
  • Provide significantly more bandwidth than current technologies
  • Use low-latency responses and low pin counts
  • Maintain compatibility with legacy PC buses while being extensible to new SNA (Systems Network Architecture) buses.
  • Appear transparent to operating systems and offer little impact on peripheral drivers.
• HyperTransport technology was invented at AMD with contributions from industry partners and is managed and licensed by the HyperTransport Technology Consortium, a Texas non-profit corporation. The full specification and more information about HyperTransport technology can be found at HyperTransport.org.
