ABit Annoncerer 1000MHz Hyper Transport Bundkort

Ifølge X-bit Labs skulle Abit lancere et VIA K8T800 Pro bundkort med 1000MHz Hyper Transport.

Dette bundkort bliver primært sendt på markedet rettet mod entusiaster og overclockere som vil være med på den nyeste bølge af produkter.

In an attempt to boost processor?s bus throughput and better synchronize it with PCI Express, a new industrial standard for interconnections between PC components, AMD boosted the speed of the HT bus used in its processors for Socket 754, Socket 939 and possibly Socket 940 platforms to 1000MHz speed bin. The push in HT speed is not going to affect compatibility of the new CPUs and already existing mainboards. According to information from AMD, all chips that sport 1000MHz (or 1.0GHz) HyperTransport bus will work on mainboards available now that feature only 800MHz HT.
