Backside bus
In computer microprocessor architecture, a backside bus is a bus dedicated to the purpose of connecting the processor to an off-chip bank of cache memory. This is an improvement over the older practice of accessing the cache over the frontside bus (FSB) because it reduces the usage of the FSB, which is typically a severe bottleneck in most modern systems.
