AGP 8X Hits Workstation Market
ServerWorks Corporation, a Broadcom subsidiary, announced on Tuesday that it has begun sampling its second generation graphics Champion I/O Bridge (the CIOB-G2), its first to support AGP 8X.
The CIOB-G2 has a bandwidth of 2.1 Gigabytes per second and is designed for high-end graphics in workstations and gaming applications, the company said. The CIOB-G2 can be used with the company's Grand Champion LE or the Grand Champion SL core logic devices and connects to the north bridge on either of the chipsets via the ServerWorks InterModule bus.
While recent ExtremeTech tests showed that there is currently little need for AGP8X on the desktop PC, ServerWorks executives said that is not in the case in workstations.
