Detailed explanation-1: -An Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a point to point channel that is used for high-speed video output. This port is used to connect graphic cards to a computer’s motherboard. It increases the speed at which machines can render graphics while using the system’s resources more efficiently.
Detailed explanation-2: -A related standard, AGP Pro, provided additional power to meet the needs of high-end computer workstations. AGP was replaced as the leading graphics technology about 2010 by PCI Express, a high-speed version of PCI that replaced both PCI and AGP.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the past, Intel offered the AGP hardware interface for attaching a graphics card (display adapter) to a computer. AGP was introduced in 1997 and replaced by PCI Express in the late 2000s. It directly connected the card and memory through a single motherboard slot.
Detailed explanation-4: -AGP was designed specifically for graphics cards, and its design was based on the PCI slot. AGP was started to be replaced by PCI-Express starting from 2004.
