AMD’s Infinity Fabric Detailed – The Innovative, Real-World Implementation of The Company’s ‘Perfect Lego’ Philosophy
..So what is the big deal about it? Well, even if you are to leave all the high level talk behind, one of the biggest impacts of Infinity Fabric is that it will allow AMD to fully utilize DRAM available to any SoC or GPU. This means that textbook and theoretical performance limits will be achievable and will result in an overall power efficient architectural design.
Secondly if you take a look at the slides, you will notice how the Infinity Fabric is now so much more than just HyperTransport. It is the physical implementation of AMD’s all-encompassing Lego philosophy, for lack of a better word, where everything is fully scalable and a 100% flexible..
..this would only solidify AMD’s position in the console market because the company will literally be handing them all the flexibility they could ever ask for.
Found on Ryzen, Vega, the article explains the advantages over the classic Intel way, among other things. But, there is tech talk (high level talk) involved that I can't summarize (or even completely understand -- as it is not my specialty).
