ATI and Nvidia is to support Intels 3GIO, successor to the PCI and AGP ports, bus and controllers.
Nvidia has signed up to support the upcoming 3GIO PC I/O specification, joining its arch-rival ATI as a backer of the Intel-sponsored standard-to-be. |
As we mentioned yesterday when we covered ATI's statement of support, since 3GIO will define the successor to both PCI and AGP slots, it's essential that anyone who makes add-in cards can pokes their nose into the specification's definition process.
Is this the end of AMD's HyperTransport bus? Time will tell.
