HTX Connectivity Standard

The HTX connector standard defines the electrical and mechanical characteristics of an EATX motherboard interface connector enabling CPUs to directly connect via a HyperTransport link to add-in card subsystems requiring HyperTransport’s state-of-the-art low latency and bandwidth. HTX enables a new generation of compute-intensive applications and subsystem functionality demanding the performance edge not offered by generic peripheral interconnect standards like PCI Express. Target application for HTX subsystems include:

Server Clustering
Stock Trading Acceleration
Data Analytics
Financial Modeling
Communications
Real-time Data Analysis
Security Processing
Real World Rendering
Extended Memory Management

New HTX3 Specification Pushes Subsystem Performance to Highest Level

The newly released HTX3 specification, more than triples the bandwidth of the original HTX specification while introducing powerful system architecture features, extending power management capabilities and maintaining full backward compatibility.
