Yes, the technology that really never came into play is moving into version 2.0. Opterons will use Hypertransport 1, but the 2.0 spec calls for 20 to 40 gigaBYTES per second!!!!!!

HyperTransport 2.0 will provide data transfers between chips at 20 gigabytes to 40 gigabytes per second, depending on the system architecture. Such speeds will greatly increase the performance and versatility of servers or desktops, said Gabriele Sartori, president of the consortium and director of strategic alliances at AMD.
