Non-coherent and coherent connections in a multi-chip system

A coherent connection and a non-coherent connection are provided between system-on-chips (SoCs). The coherent connection can be coupled to coherent interconnects on the SoCs, and the non-coherent connection can be coupled to non-coherent interconnects on the SoCs. An input/output (I/O) transaction from an I/O device on a first SoC that is targeted to a second SoC can be transmitted via the non-coherent connection, and a processor transaction from the first SoC that is targeted to the second SoC can be transmitted via the coherent connection.
