Intel company constantly re-names the injected in its processors and chipset technology - not only before their announcement, but also after . As a example can serve the technology EM64T, which for a while was back renamed in Intel 64. If we speak about those solutions, which are prepared for announcement, then the list of working names can be sufficiently long. :-)
Nehalem processors promised to use a sequential data transmission system bus - CSI, which had to become the competitor Of hyperTransport, and the new intel multi core systems will get a ride from its traditional bottlenecks (The limited system bus). As reports associate, for the system bus CSI appeared a new marketing name - QuickPath.. Obviously, Intel wants to emphasize that the data transmission on new generation system bus will be very fast. The name hyperTransport in this sense is almost synonymous.
The quickPath system bus will be released in the second-half of 2008 in the server platform tylersburg, which will use nehalem generation processors with the divided cache in the third level and virtual multi core support . In particular, system on the base of two four core processors will be able to imitate the work of sixteen processor cores.
