nsport was delivering a performance increase.  It's just so much of a stronger connecting force than other platforms out there.  We're working with such huge amounts of data, and it's all about getting the data through the architecture.&quot;<br />

Charlie expands: &quot;HyperTransport is really one of the key performance enablers for the platform.  We designed AMD64 from the ground up to be an efficient architecture, putting a memory controller on each chip.  With the   (Intel) Xeon architecture,
