At IDF09 Intel demonstrated a high-speed optical cable technology available next year that will connect mainstream electronic devices like laptops, HD displays, televisions, cameras, video players, iPods, docking stations and Solid State Drives (SSDs) to each other using optical fiber, rather than copper wires. Developed by Intel and codenamed Light Peak, this proposed technology paves the way for a new generation of extreme computer input and output (I/O) performance, delivering 10Gb/s of bandwidth, with the potential ability to scale to 100Gbs over the next decade. At 10Gb/s, a user could transfer a full-length Blu-Ray* movie in less than 30 seconds. The company intends to work with the industry to determine the best way to make this new technology a standard.

Alien Technology from area 51 not doubt ! … lol
ehhhhhhhhhhh… it’s still a wire. and wires = BAD in the 21st centrue. Sorry intel… I’d sacrifice buffering on a wireless signal than having even a fiber-thin cable/s running around my house. how about putting this money into wireless protocols…. or into somethine else other than connection 2 external devices for IO
I don’t know what they said here, but it sounds fancy and technical, so you know its good.
who wants light peak SSDs? cuz i do!
Wow, this sounds great but I guess you will have to pay a lot to get this technology.
awesome…stuff like this makes me love tech
@TalesOfWar YES! Apple came up with this idea in protocol and intel made it real.
@sanarkhos YOUR WRONG! Apple BROUGHT this to Intel to develop! New Mac Pros will have LIGHT PEAK on them! There are Mac logic boards in videos on the net already showing them working. Sorry, Apple beat everyone to this… again. The new Mac Pros are going to be the elite machines once again with LP.
How do you like your speed? FAST!
@kurtnelle
Yo, do you have ooaab? lol.
Light peak + solid state drive = lightning speed disk read/write.
I guess technologies such as USB, SATA, FireWire etc will go the way of the floppies within 3 years.
It will also be fun to see what happens when chips get smaller than 22nm. Giddy, giddy times for tech.
well…i guess ATI is controlling nvidia’s look on new technology considering they have faster tech as of now, but i doubt that AMD will ever get close to Intel’s level of INTELLIGENCE, great work. Intel = GOD of Computing
They should start calling it “Universal Optical Bus” and start shipping it tomorrow.
Gonna Kill USB3, SATA3, PCI Express, Ethernet, Firewire (well put the final nail) and Display Port (in its current implementation) It will be the new standard for chipset to cpu integration as well as internal connections, in everything from Netbooks to Mainframes. EPIC.
not sure if want
it also shows two not just one but two PDCS60T-USB working side by side.
@cheehon: I hope you like waiting. Best case scenario: Lightpeak starts showing up in more than just high end exclusive stuff by 2014.
oh my God, technology is horibly fast.
i wont buy i7 or new pc now.
lets wait for these and wait with some core2dua.. XD
USB 3.0 and SATA III What are those again? lol That’s what people will be saying once Light Peak comes out.
Want.
I can’t wait to see this in the first Mac computers. This is insanely fast technology and may be why Intel has held off on their USB 3.0 equipment.
Apple are doing it right this time. FireWire was and still is great, but they made the mistake of having silly licence fees involved with it which limited its uptake, and at the same time they did it alone and Intel just stomped over them with USB. Remember, Intel is the biggest maker of chipsets and networking components in the world, so if Intel make it, it’s a de-facto standard. Apple took this to Intel because they have the fab capacity and market share to make it dominent and work.
Intel has stated that power will be provided by the copper braiding that will be used to sheath the optic fiber.
Power over the cable isn’t an issue. It’s already smaller, so all you have to do is put another pin in, and connect that pin to motherboard provided power. Not an issue at all cause HDMI does it already.
Apple didn’t fund USB. They were early adopters, but they didn’t have anything to do with its technical development.
Perhaps you were referring to Firewire.
Still has the issue of providing power over the cable.
