How does Intel qpi compare to hypertransport?

they are virtually the same with HyperTransport being better, doesnt matter though because both cpu's can't catch up to HT and QPI's speed


What is the general name of the feature amd processor calls hypertransport?

multithreading


What is the general name of the processor feature that AMD calls HyperTransport?

multithreading


Limitations of hypertransport technology?

One big limitation is the lack of enabling technology


How is CPU speed calculated?

CPU speed is calculated off of the Front Side Bus (FSB) speed and the CPU Multiplier. Don't confuse HyperTransport (HT) or Quad Data Rate (QDR, aka Quad Pumping) with FSB. HyperTransport and QDR have "replaced" FSB, but they too rely on the FSB. FSB was formerly used as a transport medium for data between the processor, memory and northbridge chipset and is now used more just as a reference clock frequency. FSB * Multiplier = CPU Speed For example, my Sempron 3400+ runs at 2.0 GHz with an 800MHz HyperTransport bus. It runs on a 200 MHz FSB bus and has a multiplier of 10. The HyperTransport multiplier is 4. 200 MHz FSB * 10x Multiplier = 2,000 MHz CPU 200 MHz FSB * 8x HT Multiplier = 800 MHz HyperTransport bus


A bus that run in sync with the CPU?

Front Side Bus (for older Intel CPUs). Hypertransport (for AMD) and CSI (for newer Intel CPUs)


What is the front side bus measured in?

MHz. It's not technically called the FSB anymore though. It's called HyperTransport (for AMD) or QuickPath Interconnect (for Intel) these days.


How to improve multimedia performance on a PC?

The software must be designed for that type of technology. This can be determined by looking on the product package for the Intel MMX, Intel SSE, Intel SSE2, Intel SSE3 or AMD 3DNow!, HyperTransport!, or PowerNow! symbols.


How are local buses different from expansion buses?

A local bus is one which is integrated into the computer. Typically, this includes the Frontside Bus (or Hypertransport in AMD), the Memory Bus, the PCI bus, the PCI Express Bus (if present), the AGP Bus (if present), and onboard peripheral busses such as IDE, SATA, USB, IR, Firewire, and many others. Expansion buses are those which are not built in. For example, if you do not utilize onboard video, you would use a PCI, AGP, or PCI-E expansion bus to add video capabilities.


What technology allows each logical processor within the processor package to handle an individual thread in parallel with other threads being handled by other processors within the package?

Intel has HyperThreading, and AMD uses HyperTransport, so the logical processor can run threads in parallel with other processors in the chipset. (see A+ 220-701).


How does computer develop?
