Re: Right now, the only non-proprietary "next gen I/O technology" is RapidIO. HT is, at least for now, AMD's proprietary technology. There's nothing "open" about it - yet, anyway. My comments didn't claim AMD's HT was open or closed, just that the industry was moving towards it. Here's what the article said about HT: Broadcom, Cisco, Nvidia and Sun as having helped tweak the spec to broaden its appeal and make it more focused on networking applications. More than 150 companies have licensed the technology from AMD to date, at a minimal fee, he said. "We're not trying to make a business out of this licensing. And we haven't denied a single license to anyone." Here's what the article said about 3GIO: As Intel Corp. readies its 3GIO spec for a fall debut at the Intel Developer Forum... While little is known about the 3GIO spec, a bus charged with supplanting PCI technology in the desktop market... How do you interpret it? HT is a cooperative effort of a wide range of players with a big stake in bus/interconnect design; Alpha processor, Cisco, Broadcom, Nvidia, SUN, AMD, and others. Meanwhile we are waiting for Intel to send down its "little is known about" spec - from the top of a mountain, written on clay tablets, perhaps? Shades of "you WILL use Rambus and you will LIKE it!", eh? :-) Dan
