Can HyperTransport technology survive in different, future process technologies?
Absolutely. The HyperTransport technology has been architected with that purpose in mind. When the physical layer of the HyperTransport technology bus was conceived, AMD and API NetWorks placed a great deal of importance on the longevity of these technologies. It became a basic requirement for the design of the HyperTransport bus. With process technologies ranging from 0.25 to sub 0.1 micron, HyperTransport has been implemented in a straightforward manner at the current speed grades. Running the HyperTransport physical interface even faster in the future is certainly a possibility expected.
