-The HyperTransport architecture has allowed AMD to move away from the traditional [SMP] technology for mutiple CPU systems. In a HyperTransport system, each CPU has a number of HyperTransport links it can use to communicate to other CPUs
, memory banks, and other high-performance components. This mitigates the bus overhead present in "standard" [SMP] systems, and with AMD's current technology allows up to 4 CPUs
to have dedicated links to each other and to their own bank of memory.
