Abstract :
Vendors have had to develop higher-speed local interconnects to ensure that overall system performance keeps pace. Therefore, vendors have upgraded the PCI standard and developed several new approaches for internal expansion buses, and chip-to-chip, chip-to-I/O, chipset component coupling, and chipset-to-I/O connectivity.
