USB 3.0 infrastructure is well developed now, nearly five years after the debut of interface specifications. The standard is supported by most modern chipsets and discrete controllers .
However, according to an official press release , in the middle of this year, we will meet the specifications of the improved USB 3.0 interface, which will double the data transfer rate - 10 Gb / s instead of 5 Gb / s. Connectors and cables remain the same, but will require new controllers. Theoretically, at twice the speed data can be transmitted even with the old version of cable USB 3.0 . The ability of USB 3.0 ports to charge mobile devices, too, will be developed, in some cases this is enough to charge a laptop.
Developing improved versions USB 3.0 deals alliance of companies Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Renesas Electronics, ST-Ericsson and Texas Instruments. It is expected that devices with a faster version of the interface will be in the market towards the end of 2014. Of course, this is a threat to the spread of Thunderbolt interface, which now goes to the use of optical cables, providing increased data transmission distance up to 30 m Related Products :
