HyperTransport™ Technology Frequently Asked Questions
What is HyperTransport™ technology?





Q:What is HyperTransport™ technology?
A:HyperTransport™ technology is a high speed, high performance point-to-point link for interconnecting integrated circuits on a motherboard. It can be significantly faster than a PCI bus for an equivalent number of pins. HyperTransport was previously codenamed Lightning Data Transport, or LDT.

HyperTransport technology was invented by AMD and perfected with the help of several partners throughout the industry. It is primarily targeted for the IT and Telecomm industries, but any application where high speed, low latency and scalability are necessary can potentially take advantage of HyperTransport technology.
