OCaddiction har kigget nærmere på AGPx8.
Han har skrevet en længere artikel, hvor han går i dybden, og fortæller om fordelene ved AGPx8.
Der går mange rygter om at AGPx8 er værdiløst, og egentlig kun er noget opreklameret fis, men det kan du læse meget mere om her:
"Isochronous Mode? Another buzzword we haven't heard before. Quite simply, Isochronous Mode provides predictable and uninterrupted data flow. This may not sound like much, but AGP 1.0 and 2.0 specs just could not deliver the amount of bandwidth that current applications need, such as video broadcasting and streaming video. AGP 3.0 makes it possible.
Now lets get a bit more technical for a moment and introduce clocking changes that AGP 3.0 brings about. The common clock frequency of the AGP spec remain the same, at 66MHz. However, we are now seeing source synchronous signals "strobed" at 8X the common clock frequency. Thus AGP 8X. "
