原创 Intel devising new interconnect scheme

取代“前端总线”，媲美AMD's HyperTransport。

CSI will be used as the internal fabric for almost all future Intel systems starting with Tukwila, an Itanium processor and Nehalem, an enhanced derivative of the Core microarchitecture, slated for 2008.

今年的IDF上，还有厂商刚刚推出针对“前端总线”的FPGA协处理器，Intel声称要进一步提供支持，并开放接口规范。现在又出了一个CSI，看来确实走到了AMD的后面，急着赶呢。
