``The 'Hammer' architecture innovations include a high bandwidth, high-performance integrated memory, input/output and multiprocessing controller, and a highly scalable system bus that uses HyperTransport(tm) technology with support for single- and multi-processor configurations,'' Weber said. ``Together, these innovations are designed to reduce bottlenecks in the data pathways and speed up the transfer of information, providing more performance and therefore, more productivity.''
