HyperTransport
Sometimes abbreviated as HT, HyperTransport is an open replacement for the computer FSB and other legacy bridges and buses originally developed by AMD and first introduced April 2, 2001. Not to be confused with Hyper-Threading, HyperTransport was codenamed Lightning Data Transfer (LDT) and today is used in computers, servers, and other high-performance networking and communications equipment.
The initial release of HyperTransport had a top signaling rate of 1.6 GHz on each wire pair and a peak aggregate bandwidth of 12.8Gbs.
