I have been searching the internet for specs for various interface and bus
varieties. Of course, these are theoretical maximum throughputs, and actual
real world results would be different, but I just wanted a list to easily
compare the different values. Any comments, corrections or glaring
inconsistencies? Also, would you be willing to add your real world results
from benchmarks for some of these values?
Thanks in advance,
