The R10000 used the Avalanche bus, a 64-bit bus that operated at frequencies up to 100 MHz. Avalanche is a multiplexed address and data bus, so at 100 MHz it yielded a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 800 MB/s, but its peak bandwidth was 640 MB/s as it required some cycles to transmit addresses. | The R10000 used the Avalanche bus, a 64-bit bus that operated at frequencies up to 100 MHz.
