Via chipset info is here:

This page shows a comparison chart of the various Via chipsets.

Hypertransport is a bus standard, and is used to connect the
Athlon64 processor to a Northbridge, like the K8T800. There is
a block diagram at the bottom of this page:

Does that answer the question ?

Or does your question have to do with "hypertransport"
versus "hyperthreading". Hyperthreading is when an Intel processor
is designed to support two execution streams, something the
AMD64 doesn't do. To find more info on the hypertransport
bus standard, try:

One difference between K8T800 and K8T800 Pro, is the Pro has
asynchronous bus interface, which allows AGP lock and better
overclocking range. AGP lock is implemented on A8V revision 2
motherboards. The K8V family doesn't have AGP lock.
