GB = Gigabytes
Gb = Gigabits

1GB = 8Gb

Do you know why that is? There are 8 bits in a byte. :slap:

2GB/s = 16Gb/s which is really just 20Gb/s with 8b/10b encoding overhead like PCI-E has. So no, I'm right in the sense that there are 20Gbps links that can go that speeds in both directions simultaneously. So even if after encoding you factor everything in, you still have to do a ton of saturate it. Once again, stop with the lying. It doesn't do your argument justice.

Stop trying to act like you know something when you don't, before you hurt your trolling finger.

I was wondering whether you would walk back your arguments and apologize or double down on your smug know-it-all bitching that was just proven to be incorrect. I am not surprised that you doubled down.


Additionally, DMI does not use PCI-E. It's similar, yes, but two different signaling technologies nonetheless. DMI has 20Gbit to work with which is actually closer to 2500-2800MB/s in any one direction which is almost 1GB/s off from what you stated. DMI is also 20Gbit BI-DIRECTIONAL, where USB and SATA are not bi-directional and they're describing total bandwidth in any given direction so the max theoretical bandwidth of DMI 2.0 as a whole would be double that 5000-5600MB/s.

I intervened and took it seriously because you're talking about stuff without having accurate knowledge of how it works and spreading such false information only makes the problem worse. Also to top it all off, despite evidence to the contrary you remain ignorant of what's right in front of you. Numbers don't lie, something is happening and it's not DMI-related.

That's all true for the theoretical max. Do the math and it holds. If you can't even prove what I say is wrong and all you can say is that I'm wrong it just goes to show how sad and pathetic your argument is.
