Tbit/s for 32/33 PCI? I think you're a little high.. by a factor of 1000, Keld. :) The chipset to processor interface on modern systems is typically around 8-16 GB/s, or 64-128 Gb/s. That's still a factor of 10x lower than 1 Tbit/s, so you're high by a factor of 20x. Why, may I ask, are you quoting serial data rates for parallel buses? I've only seen inter-chip bandwidth quoted in serial rates on communications gear. Everyone else quotes parallel data rates for board level communication paths-- Bytes/s not bits/sec. You must work for Ericsson. ;) Regardless of bit rate values, we agree on the important part, for the most part. :) -- Stan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
