HyperTrasport™ 3.0

3,600 MT/s HyperTransport 3.0

HyperTransport 3.0 supports a variety of new

features including AC coupling mode, hot
plugging, un-ganging mode and dynamic power
management for the support of extended signal
transmission distance, typical of backplane and
chassis-to-chassis implementations.

DDR2-1066(AM2/AM2+) Memory Bandwidth

The chip's Integrated Memory Controller can talk

to Dual Channels of DDR2 memory at speeds up
to 1066MHz. This memory controller has been
improved in various ways, among them larger
buffers and an improved mechanism for
speculative data pre-fetch.
