Intel will not hurry with the introduction of USB 3.0

Over the next year, Intel has no plans to install its product controllers are USB 3.0. Their introduction of the corporation to defer until 2011. This message posted resource EE Times, referring to representatives of the inside Intel. If this information is true, it means a very considerable delay in the development of this standard. Initially, the consortium relied on the introduction of the technology before the end of 2009. However, since Intel will not be embedded controllers into their chipsets, then the producers will have to buy them separately, which will increase the final cost of the product.

Likely in 2010, USB 3.0 may appear in some expensive and high-performance models, but expect its mass supply is not necessary. Many experts believe the standard dim prospects as the largest manufacturer of computer equipment from it in fact declined. The reasons for this step a few. Channel EE Times described as such by the need for costs to deploy 32-nm processors. At the same time, the IDF show Intel has announced its own technology for high speed data transmission on optical cables called Light Peak. This technology is theoretically able to provide data rates up to 100 Gbit / s (at the moment no more than 10 Gbit / s), which is much higher than USB 3.0 (up to 5 Gbit / s).
