Third Generation IO (3GIO) will serve as a general purpose I/O interconnects for a wide variety of future computing platforms. Key PCI attributes, such as its usage model and software interfaces are maintained whereas its bandwidth-limiting, parallel bus implementation is replaced by a long-life, fully-serial interface. A split-transaction protocol is implemented with attributed packets that are prioritized and optimally delivered to their target. The 3GIO definition will comprehend a variety of form factors to support smooth integration with PCI and to enable new system form factors. 3GIO will provide industry leading performance and price/performance.
