Re: "It will be interesting to see if they can create a mass producible multidrop bus that can operate much faster than 150 Mhz. Even 150 Mhz for a multidrop bus is a major achievement that computer companies found difficult. I know of several attempts to go faster than 150 Mhz and as many failures. Point to Point buses are different because they can be properly terminated. Time skewing can be quite significant on these fast buses and this is manageable in point-to-point as well. " I think they will go well above 150Mhz. Some of the tricks that may be used to address the issues you raise are source synchronous clocks and double pumped data. Perhaps Tenchusatsu can comment on this, of course without revealing too many of Intel's secrets. EP
