AMD's new 7 series of chipsets will be arriving soon and they are expected to bring a new level of performance to the K8 architecture. However, members at ChileHardware found something interesting while investigating the BIOS of the new chipsets, the AMD AutoXpress feature(s). AutoXpress allows accelerated performance on K10 processors, automatic overclocking of the PCIe bus when using graphics cards based on R580+ or newer, and accelerated data transfers in between graphics card when running CrossFire. It even allow the HyperTransport bus to be double-pumped when using a HT 1.0 processor, through a feature called XpressRoute. There will also be a MemBoost feature that can be used with high-end DDR2-800 and higher memory for lower latencies when using a K8 processor.
