HyperTransport 3.0 Ratified
Hack Jandy writes "The HyperTransport consortium just released the 3.0 specification of HyperTransport. The new specification allows for external HyperTransport interconnects, basically meaning you might plug your next generation Opteron into the equivalent of a USB port at the back of your computer. Among other things, the new specification also includes hot swap, on-the-fly reconfigurable HT links and also a hefty increase in bandwidth."
Why would I want to plug a CPU into a USB slot for?
I still struggle to understand why fiber optics are so expensive- the lasers used are fairly cheap and the cables really aren't that complex either and are made in enough quantity.. but I guess since it's not mainstream, it's expensive.
Prices are typically set based on how much the customers are willing to pay. The component cost generally isn't influential aside from forming a price floor. That's the market economy at work. You don't have to struggle, or even understand. Just stand back and let it do its work.
Slashdot - where whining about luck is the new way to make the world you want.
You're right. So because it doesn't do $SPECIFIC_BUZZWORD, we should shitcan the entire thing. Very +1, Insightful.
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
