USB 3.0 specs released
by David Allen
Chipmaker Intel has released further details of the USB 3.0 standard that was announced last year much to the horror of many people within the industry.
Intel has promised that this new standard, USB 3.0, will able to deliver up to ten times the performance, about a 4.8 Gbps transfer rate, as the regular USB 2.0 that everyone has become familiar with, which has a transfer rate of 480 Mbps. The advantages are obvious.
There should not be that much time to wait to see this in action, as there are already licences being issued to the likes of Microsoft, HP, NEC, NXP Semiconductors and Texas Instruments.
Which is why there is little being said about the finer details of USB 3.0.
It can only be assumed that there will be the first signs of the USB 3.0 in operation during the first half of 2009.

Why would a standard for USB be received with ‘horror’. This sort of soppy reporting should be banned even in out of the way sites like this. Pay proper money and get a literate reporter.
