Intel : No USB 3.0 Support Until 2011…
Bad news: Nvidia has confirmed Intel’s stance on USB 3.0—no Intel chipsets will support the new standard until 2011. Short of Intel stating something different, USB 3.0 probably won’t hit mass consumption until then.
Nice!
Are we going to see Light Peak in devices before then?
On May 4, 2010, in Brussels, Intel demonstrated a laptop with a Light Peak connector (indicating that the technology had shrunk to small enough to fit inside such a device) and had the laptop send 2 distinct simultaneous HD video streams down the connection (indicating that at least some fraction of the software/firmware stacks and protocols are now functional). At the same demonstration, Intel maintained that it expected hardware manufacturing to begin around the end of 2010.
