1.3 Special features
1.3.1 Product highlights
Latest processor technology
The AMD Athlon™ 64 desktop processor is based on AMD’s 64-bit
architecture, which represents the landmark introduction of the industry’s
first x86-64 technology. This next-generation processor provides a
dramatic leap forward in compatibility, performance, investment protection,
and reduced total cost of ownership and development. See page 2-4 for
details.
HyperTransport™ Technology
HyperTransport™ Technology is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link
designed to increase the communication speed between integrated circuits
in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and
telecommunicatons equipment up to 48 times faster than some existing
technologies.
Serial ATA solution
The motherboard supports four interfaces compliant to the Serial ATA
(SATA) specification, an evolutionary replacement of the Parallel ATA
storage interface. The Serial ATA specification allows for thinner, more
flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, up to
150 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 2-25.
Dual SATA RAID
The K8V motherboard provides two high-performance Serial ATA RAID
controllers that enhances hard disk performance and data back-up
protection without the cost of additional RAID cards. The Promise 20378
RAID controller incorporates two Serial ATA and one parallel connector
with RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 0+1 functions while the VIA® VT8237 RAID
controller provides another two Serial ATA connectors for RAID 0 and
RAID 1 functions. See pages 5-18, 5-25.
AGP 8X support
AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) is the next generation VGA interface specification that
enables enhanced graphics performance with high bandwidth speeds up
to 2.12 GB/s. See page 2-18.
