Talk:Intel QuickPath Interconnect

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

what the hell is a gigatransaction? is that like 1 million bytes bits, crispy chicken nuggets.... and how about a reference.

[edit] Gigatransfer

Historically people would use "Hertz" when refering to clocks or even data transfers. If you consider the DDR Memory bus, it transfers data on both edges of the beat clock. The current Front Side Bus is "quad pumped" which transfers on the rising edge, middle, falling edge, and middle of the beat clock.

In case of the front side bus you would say "the beat clock is running at 200MHz and the data is tranferred at 800MT/s." (MT/s = Megatransfer per second.) Since more is happening than just "bit transitions" it is more accurate to say "transfer." Data is transferring from one device to another.

I don't have a citation, just experience. --Cmiyc 18:01, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Referring to the gigatransaction comment above i would say that is meant to be gigatransfers--Sat84 01:44, 28 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Correct Name?

Some sources say that CSI stands for "Common System Interconnect" rather than "Interface". 85.216.19.4 16:41, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Since there is no official marketing information about it yet, it's still difficult to say. However, going by the number of hits on Google right now: "Common Serial Interconnect" has about 95 hits, "Common System Interconnect" has about 109 hits, "Common System Interface" has about 9380 hits. -- Bovineone 15:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] QuickPath

Should this article be renamed to QuickPath? The name has shown up quite a bit recently. Imperator3733 22:02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Do you have any links? I have never heard of this name before, and the only things I could quickly find on Google were an unsourced article on some random website and an old item on the Inquirer. Neither is at all reliable. — Aluvus t/c 22:36, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
I think it would be better to wait for some more official sources that confirm the new name. -- Bovineone 07:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
I guess we could wait a bit to rename it Imperator3733 16:30, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Once this name change is confirmed and sourced, this should most certainly be changed to the new name. CSI appears to be an ambiguous acronym, as it would likely be confused with the common notation for CSI (TV show). Freedomlinux 20:54, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
What about this article from DailyTech? (second to last paragraph). Imperator3733 18:41, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
