No additional chips needed... next year.

About time. It's no coincidence that AMD made USB3 announcement earlier this week and Intel follows. It's a shame it's taking this long for Superspeed to get rolled out.

Yeah, it took a while for 1.1 & 2.0 to get implemented, but those were substantial upgrades in an uncertain market. The market demand for 480MB/s is clear, and the standard hasn't changed that much that a bunch of engineers can't solve the differences.

IV bridge plus console ports will be awesome... not.

 

[stingstang]

Called it.

will lga115 supports ivy bridge prosessor? thats matter much.

A70M?!?! ATOM??? Wow! It's just me or the names were created to confuse intel fans??

 

[mobrocket]

Artimissmo? what planet do you come from...


USB 3.0 should be great once it goes mainstream, however i doubt the normal user cares or knows the difference

 

[campb292]

Are all trolls Republican? I know someone who feasts on the bones of TROLLS!


Anyway, this is welcome news.

Some companies better be working on their midi standard!
It's over 25 years old!

Lets cut the BS Intel, you're procrastinating to push your Light Peak technology now called by that horrible Thunderbolt name (guy who came up with that should be fired). You're not fooling anyone when USB 3.0 was pretty much finalized back at the very end of 2009 when you say it'll take at least 2-3 years to fully implement in your chipsets.

Yay! Superspeed and Thunderbolt!

...wait...

Will these systems be too fast? I mean c'mon, with all the fast-sounding names, they've gotta be too fast for us. lol

That does make me wonder if we'll have bottlenecks like we had with the 1156/155 sockets. Granted most of the new stuff will likely be moved over to chipset and avoid using PCI-E lanes, but how much bandwidth will you have for these devices?

Eh, who knows.

So basically Intel should hang a banner saying they were stupid 2 years ago to outright reject putting USB3 in their chipsets. Foot meet mouth.

When does Intel's Max Power cable come out?

Ivy Bridge will make AMD's products look worse than today. Hopefully, 2012 is the year when Intel finish AMD and put it in the toilet.

 

[f-14]

pci express 3.0 will be next year too right?

 

[CyberAngel]

[citation][nom]atikkur[/nom]will lga1155 supports ivy bridge prosessor? thats matter much.[/citation]

2011 for four channels of DDR3 if that's what you want
maybe intel will release 2012 slot year 2012 ;-)

@Maddoctor

because ivy bridge is 50% faster then sandy bridge right.......

My last AMD system was a cutting edge brand new blazing 1.6GHz solo core, ha.
My money may be on Intel these days for my gaming rig, but I intend to build a HTPC sometime in the near future, and it will be AMD. Intel does make some nice powerful chips, but when you want something cheap, all they offer basically is that damned Atom, and I would use my Pentium D again before using one of those chips.
2.5GHz quad core with a 5770 1GB and 4GB RAM sounds pretty nice and cheap to me (especially since I have a unused 5770) as a budget secondary PC and HTPC.

what's lightpeak? it sounds like that completely worthless feature HP has on their dvd drives.
