Dan: How do you interpret it? HT is a cooperative effort of a wide range of players with a big stake in bus/interconnect design No, HT was developed solely by two companies: AMD and API. Sure, there are other licensees now, but so far they have (apparently) had zero influence on the spec. This is all changing, sure, but as the article says: "The set of companies doing real work on HyperTransport is growing so quickly that we need a consortium; it's absolutely needed," said David Rich, general manager of the HyperTransport business at spec co-developer API Networks (Concord, Mass.). "We call AMD almost every week and ask 'Is it here yet?' " The lack of a consortium has hurt HyperTransport's adoption on the global level, Rich said. "In Europe, especially, companies are very wary until they see a standards body or an open way to discuss things." ... HyperTransport technology tends to be a lot like RapidIO, but it doesn't have peer-to-peer communications. I think the HyperTransport folks are working on that. But then, how would I know? It hasn't exactly been an open forum. It's proprietary." Dan: 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? Isn't that exactly what AMD did? They are just "slightly" ahead... -fyo
