AMD HyperTransport 3.1 Announced to help fend off Intel's Quick Path
 

The HyperTransport 3.1 specification, has been released on August 18, 2008. It delivers 23% of bandwidth improvement and proportionally lower latency capability compared to HyperTransport 3.0. HyperTransport 3.1 maintains the same advanced architectural, power management and protocol features of HyperTransport 3.0.


Since its first HyperTransport 1.0 release in 2001, the HyperTransport standard has evolved to support higher speeds and increased functionality. Each new HyperTransport specification revision has maintained the same state-of the-art, low latency capability while progressively doubling its predecessor’s bandwidth and thereby enabling the HyperTransport standard to maintain its lead as the industry’s highest performance and most efficient interconnect. All HyperTransport specification releases are backwards-compatible with previous revisions to preserve the industry's long-term investments in the technology.
