Het consortium is een non-profit organisatie met als doel het promoten en verder ontwikkelen van AMD’s HyperTransport technologie. Deelnemers van het consortium zijn: AMD, API Networks, Apple, Cisco, nVidia, PMC-Sierra, Sun en Transmeta. Hieronder een paar droge happen uit de press release:
A coalition of high-tech industry leaders today announced the formation of the HyperTransportT Technology Consortium, a nonprofit corporation that supports the future development and adoption of AMD's HyperTransport I/O Link specification.
Technology leaders AMD (NYSE: AMD), API NetWorks, Inc., Appler, Cisco Systems, NVIDIA Corporation, PMC-Sierra (NASDAQ: PMCS), Sun Microsystems, Inc., and Transmeta have joined together as promoters of HyperTransport technology, and will now manage the development and evolution of the technology's specifications. More than 180 companies throughout the computer and communications industries have been engaged with AMD in working with the HyperTransport technology.
HyperTransport technology is an innovative solution that enables the chips inside of high-performance compute devices, and networking and communications devices - such as those that power the Internet - to communicate with each other up to 48 times faster compared with existing technologies.
