Dell Joins HyperTransport Technology Consortium.Plans to Leverage HyperTransport Technology in Several System Platforms SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- The HyperTransport[TM] Technology Consortium, a non-profit organization A non-profit organization (abbreviated "NPO", also "non-profit" or "not-for-profit") is a legally constituted organization whose primary objective is to support or to actively engage in activities of public or private interest without any commercial or monetary profit purposes. dedicated to developing, promoting and licensing the industry's lowest latency, highest bandwidth interconnect technology, today announced that Dell has joined the consortium as a high-level member and will leverage HyperTransport technology in a number of its powerful server and desktop product lines. HyperTransport technology is a CPU-native interconnect standard that delivers efficient high throughput with minimum latency between multiple devices including chassis, motherboards and chips. This interconnect technology is designed to support high-performance appliances, embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. , networking systems, PCs, workstations, gaming systems, servers and supercomputers. "Our enterprise customers expect standards-based solutions that deliver top performance and processor scalability, combined with optimized cost of ownership," said Kevin Kettler, chief technology officer, Dell. "By incorporating HyperTransport technology in many of our industry-leading server and desktop products, we continue to deliver innovative systems that meet customers' requirements for high performance and scalable configurations." "Dell's investment in HyperTransport technology validates the growing appeal of our interconnect standard to mainstream enterprise computing Refers to information technology in the larger company.

It is led by founding members Advanced Micro Devices, Alliance Semiconductor, Apple Computer, Broadcom Corporation, Cisco Systems, . "As a world-leading computer system provider, Dell has the market latitude latitude, angular distance of any point on the surface of the earth north or south of the equator. The equator is latitude 0°, and the North Pole and South Pole are latitudes 90°N and 90°S, respectively. to further globalize glob·al·ize tr.v. glob·al·ized, glob·al·iz·ing, glob·al·iz·es To make global or worldwide in scope or application. glob the reach of HyperTransport technology by delivering the lowest latency, highest bandwidth and most future-ready system interconnect to data centers and to individual users." "The HyperTransport 3.0 specification and the high-performance HTX HTX HyperTransport (high speed low latency chip to chip interlink) HTX Højere Teknisk Eksamen (Danish Technical College) HTX Hungarian Traded Index HTX Hemothorax HTX human tumor xenograft slot interface standards have sparked the influx of several new commercial and academic members," said Mario Cavalli, general manager of the HyperTransport Consortium. "Dell's high-level Consortium membership extends the already significant roster of top-tier system manufacturers that have contributed to both shaping and reaping the rewards of our leading interconnect technology."
