Rapid/IO is not the same as HyperTransport, although they do share many implementation concepts.
What this should mean though is that owners of Macs, AmigaOnes, etc, may one day be able to upgrade to a 2GHz dual-core G4 processor that is relatively low power.
Of course, at this speed, the limitation will certainly be the PC133 memory on the AmigaOne, and the slow FSB on that processor. However with a large on-die cache and possibly L3 controller it might not be that bad (with 8MB+ of L3 anyway). |
