USB 3.0

Hey spicians, guess what?? USB 3.0 is almost ready to be launched. At the upcoming Intel Forum, the new USB standard will be demoed. USB 3.0 which is being referred to as SuperSpeed USB, tranfers data 10x faster than the current USB 2.0 rate. USB 2.0 transfer rate is 480Mbps (mega-bits per second) , USB 3.0 transfers at 480 x 10= 4800Mbps. Wow!!! that's insane speed. Later this year products will begin shipping with the new standard. A laptop is carded, a motherboard and a prototype camera that shoots videos in full HD 1080p to name a few. The specification was developed by Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, NEC, ST-Ericsson, and Texas Instruments. read more here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-10355 ... =mncol;txt

That will be wicked speeds but will the computer be about to support such speeds, i mean the rate at which the processor can access the hard drive will be alot less than this. Because the system will have to buffer and read the data so.....

Whoa this could rival firewire!! And it's true everything passing through the cpu.. so home machines wont be able to maximize it unless in goes straight to hd.
