What is Backside Bus within Bus Hierarchy?
The highest-level bus that the chipset uses to send information to and from the processor.
Higher-level architectures which employ a dedicated bus for accessing the system cache
Second-level system bus that connects the memory subsystem to the chipset and the processor
High-speed input/output bus used for connecting performance-critical peripherals to the memory, chipset, and processor
Which of below can solve issue with propagation delay? (Note: Propagation delay is the amount of time it takes for the head of the signal to travel from the sender to the receiver.)
