According to our associate , intel company is intended to introduce in its processors serious changes, after accepting the new architecture internal connections, which will replace the utilized now technology FSB (system bus, that connects processor with memory).
The discussion deals with the technology common system interface (CSI), which Intel plans to introduce in 2008-2009. Mr. David Kanter technologies editor described the company plans and the special features of this technology  .
CSI will replace the existing system bus and it is compared with AMD hyperTransport.
For developing the new technology Intel have good reason. According to the technologies editor  , in 2004, AMD rapidly increased its market portion with their opteron processor , after using the advantages Of hyperTransport .
However Intel always better worked under pressure, and in 2006 it answered by the release of the popular core 2 Duo. It was enormous step forward for Intel core 2 Duo, and created significant pressure on AMD, especially on the servers market  ,  said David kanter. But Intel still relies on system architecture which lags behind AMD hyperTransport in decisive performance regions .”
According to associate, CSI will open road to the built-in memory controllers . "CSI will be used as the internal structure of almost all future intel systems  , beginning from Tukwila (following in the line to itanium) and Nehalem (improved micro-architecture core), planed in 2008" - said David.
In contrast to FSB, CSI has the multilevel net structure, which will allow to be exchanged between different system components :Â microprocessors, to coprocessors, FPGA, to the system logic microcircuits or to any device, which has CSI port .
According to some data, the first realizations of CSI in intel processors  , produced on 65 - and 45- nm process CMOS, optimized for speed, can execute 4,8-6,4 billion transactions per second , ensuring capacity 12-16 Gb/s in each direction and 24-32 Gb/s for each line.
