Ist PCI-E ein Bus? (war: Wir brauchen AMR!)

[StefanV]

Die SLI-Bridge entlastet den PCIe-Bus.
PCIe ist kein Bus mehr.

PCIe ist kein Bus mehr.Du bist also nicht der Meinung, dass für den "Austausch" der beiden Beschleuniger Bandbreite erforderlich ist?
Interessant...

Ooo,yes it is.It's a serial point to point bus.

A point to point connection can't be a bus ;)

O.K. smart guy,now tell me how do you define a bus?

point to point = port, the component using the port has all the bandwith
bus = several components use the same lane and share Bandwith
ex: a road from A to B with no junctions cld be a port
if there is one or more junctions in the road, it would be a bus

So the processor's FSB (front side bus)is also a port because it only conects the processor with the north bridge? ;D

On Socket/Slot A systems (the K8 doesn't really have an FSB) yes but not on Intel plattforms there the FSB is indeed a bus...

strictly speaking yes, as not every term used inm written or spoken reflects the underlying specs. AGP f.i. is a port, but when you speak about it's frequencies you call it "Bus Speed". Sure you are aware of this or aren't you?

Certainly i am.

PCIe ist ein Bus in Stern-Topologie. :D

[Coda]

Ist doch auch völlig egal, auf jeden Fall müssten sonst die ganzen Daten über den PCIe fließen, was sicherlich sehr viel höhere Latenzen zur Folge hätte, desweiteren würde es vielleicht mit anderen Sachen die von der CPU zur GPU fließen kollidieren.
