What (who) is front side bus - definition

COMPUTER COMMUNICATION INTERFACE (BUS) OFTEN USED IN INTEL-CHIP-BASED COMPUTERS DURING THE 1990S AND 2000S; REPLACED BY REPLACED BY HYPERTRANSPORT, INTEL QUICKPATH INTERCONNECT OR DIRECT MEDIA INTERFACE IN MODERN CPUS

Front-Side Bus; Frontside bus; Front side bus; Front Side Bus

front side bus

<hardware> (FSB) The bus via which a processor communicates with its RAM and chipset; one half of the Dual Independent Bus, the other half being the {backside bus}. The L2 cache is usually on the FSB, unless it is on the same chip as the processor [example?]. In PCI systems, the PCI bus runs at half the FSB speed. Intel's Pentium 60 processor used a bus speed and processor speed of 60 MHz. All later processors have used multipliers to increase the internal clock speed while maintaining the same external clock speed, e.g. the {Pentium 90} used a 1.5x multiplier. Modern Socket 370 motherboards support multipliers from 4.5x to 8.0x, and FSB speeds from 50 MHz to a proposed 83 MHz standard. These higher speeds may cause problems with some PCI hardware. Altering the FSB speed and the multiplier ratio are the two main ways of overclocking processors. {Toms Hardware - The Bus Speed Guide (http://tomshardware.com/busspeed.html)}. {Toms Hardware - The Overclocking Guide (http://tomshardware.com/overclock.html)}.

Front-side bus

A front-side bus (FSB) is a computer communication interface (bus) that was often used in Intel-chip-based computers during the 1990s and 2000s. The EV6 bus served the same function for competing AMD CPUs.

Front-side bus

The front-side bus (FSB) is a computer communication interface (bus) that was often used in Intel-chip-based computers during the 1990s and 2000s. The EV6 bus served the same function for competing AMD CPUs. Both typically carry data between the central processing unit (CPU) and a memory controller hub, known as the northbridge.

Depending on the implementation, some computers may also have a back-side bus that connects the CPU to the cache. This bus and the cache connected to it are faster than accessing the system memory (or RAM) via the front-side bus. The speed of the front side bus is often used as an important measure of the performance of a computer.

The original front-side bus architecture has been replaced by HyperTransport, Intel QuickPath Interconnect or Direct Media Interface in modern volume CPUs.
