This is getting seriously hardcore.
There's a couple articles about it on the web already, with Anandtech's showing a cable cross-cut.
Curiously that image does not demonstrate the optical aspect of the new standard - which alledgedly is supposed to be live 'from day one'. So there'll be optical and non-optical USB3?
Way to fragment the market if that's the case. Or perhaps there's an optical/electrical converter in the moulded into the plug in each end in optical cables, eliminating the need for a direct interfacethat might get contaminated with dust/dirt etc.
In any case..interesting. The PC market is seriously heating up. Interfaces are getting WAY fast. PCIe 3.0 10gbit signal speed.. ~40GB/s I/O per 16x graphics card slot sounds nice. Wonder if they'll bump power delivery to half a kilowatt per slot too?
Peace.
