The FSB (Front Side Bus) data path refers to the communication channel between the CPU and other components of a computer, such as the memory and chipset. It is responsible for transferring data, addresses, and control signals, facilitating the flow of information within the system. The FSB's width and speed significantly impact overall system performance, as they determine how much data can be transmitted simultaneously and how quickly it can be processed. However, with advancements in technology, the FSB has largely been replaced by faster technologies like Intel's QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) and AMD's HyperTransport.

What is fsb speed?
fsb is the speed at which the processor receive or send data to ram , mb, or other chips through bus sushanta mohanty cuttack
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
What does the 'front side bus' do for a processor?
Also known as the "FSB", connects the memory and all of the other devices on your motherboard to the CPU (processor). You can think of it like a highway that carries the data around "Motherboard City". The speed of the FSB is expressed as a frequency (it's clock speed) in MHz (MegaHertz). One MHz is one million cycles per second. The FSB also has a "width", expressed in bits, such as 16 or 32 bit etc.. The wider it is, the more data can be transferred in one clock cycle. So, for example, a motherboard featuring "266 FSB" means that it's FSB runs at 266MHz and is usually 32 Bits wide. Although with "true" 64 Bit processors becoming widely available, the bit width can be 64 bits wide.
The lines on the system bus that the CPU uses to send and receive data?
FSB or front side bus.
What is a FSB bank?
FSB = Federal Savings Bank.
What is the data path size of a SIMM?
SIMMs have a 32-bit data path.
When was BankFinancial FSB created?
BankFinancial FSB was created in 1962.
The width of a data bus is called?
The width of a data bus is referred to as the data path size. An example would be a 16 bit bus can transmit 16 bits of information
What does the term FSB mean?
It means Front Side Bus (FSB) it is the wire (bus) that carries information to your CPU. The speed of the FSB is how fast the info will be delivered.
What is Data paths?
The width of the data path in bits
Real mode operates using a bit path and protected mode uses a bit data path?
Real mode uses 16 bit data path while protected mode uses 32 bit data path.
Will a processor with 1600mhz fsb work on a motherboard that only supports up to 1066mhz?
No, Because it's designed for a lower fsb (specifically, it's designed for a different fsb)
