The introduction of USB 3.0 interface, was already demonstrated during August this year, after the publication of first specifications.
USB-IF now assumes that equipment producers are ready to begin the development of their own products with USB 3.0 support . It is expected that already in the second-half 2009 will appear the first discrete USB 3.0 controllers, and products with this interface support will be widely used . The new interface version will be called : SuperSpeed USB.
USB 3.0 ensures the transmission speed 600 MB/s - ten times faster than the previous interface USB 2.0.
USB 3.0 will preserve reverse compatibility with USB 2.0 ports. In principle, the same picture was observed with the compatibility of USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. The new interface version not only provides a simultaneous double-sided information transmission on the four-wire cable, but also injects new energy-economy functions .
The increased USB capacity forces some company to gradually reject fireWire interface - for example apple company . Related Products :
