All bandwidth values 16-bit unidirectional

14 | HT Technology in 2009 and Beyond | February 11, 2009 HT, PCIe, and QPI: The Future

Two other standards now competing for interconnect roles ƒ PCIe extending beyond pure ‘peripheral’ interconnect – Coherency, cache injection, atomics, power management, virtualization features – Industry-wide investment – Higher bandwidth ƒ QPI developed by – Including a role for external accelerator attach But, HT is a superior and time-proven standard

15 | HT Technology in 2009 and Beyond | February 11, 2009 Summary and Conclusions

HT has a long history of leading-edge development and market success, with continued support in AMD products

The HT development model has successfully transitioned from an AMD-centric to a consortium-centric approach

2009 looks to be an excitinggy and transformative year for the evolution of the HT standard and I’m excited to be part of this effort
