Intel is doing their absolute best to poison the USB3.0 well, which is clearly the superior cost effective standard, and its not going to help consumers.

Just like w/ BluRay vs HD-DVD, beyond just the pros and cons of each, it is hugely beneficial to pick the best one and only that one.]]>Apr 15th 2010 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intel-says-light-peak-coming-next-year-can-and-will-coexist-wit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intel-says-light-peak-coming-next-year-can-and-will-coexist-wit/Apr 15th 2010 3:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intel-says-light-peak-coming-next-year-can-and-will-coexist-wit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intel-says-light-peak-coming-next-year-can-and-will-coexist-wit/

A strange comparison you make. USB vs Lightpeak to bluray vs hddvd. More like VHS vs bluray.

USB3.0 is twaddle compared to lightpeak.

@sparky

apple didn't so much work on bluray but was a member of the committee. Sony did bluray rather and after it wasn't given the thumbs up said "screw you" and then released it anyway and then limited access to mastering so as to control it and then lost untold millions by selling the PS3 at retail (not wholesale even) for 50% of the cost to build so as to convince the market to adopt it.

Only to not move many and due in part to the restrictive mastering idea not have everything shift from DVD and not provide data discs at any measure of a reasonable price and end up with a format that will really only last the life of the PS3 anyway (opinion)

that my friend is the bag of hurt.

Lightpeak on the other hand works with anything, sata, fw, usb, rj45, hdmi, spdif, even rs232 if you want and in what they demoed for v1 it would break out to 4 channels so the one port in ur laptop is 1 hdmi, 2 usb3 and 1 sata2

that seriously kicks ass]]>Apr 15th 2010 3:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intel-says-light-peak-coming-next-year-can-and-will-coexist-wit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intel-says-light-peak-coming-next-year-can-and-will-coexist-wit/Apr 15th 2010 7:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intel-says-light-peak-coming-next-year-can-and-will-coexist-wit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intel-says-light-peak-coming-next-year-can-and-will-coexist-wit/

The developer board you see above is actually a Mac Pro logic board.

light peak is a trailing technology with absolutely no products on the market nor planned, and the momentum behind USB3 is already enough that third parties are side-stepping intel and adding it to high-end boards themselves.

And lets not forget that USB3 has full AMD backing already.

Optical makes sense for networks with hundreds of feat of cabling and no power requirements, but not for the very short cabling we see in devices USB3 is intended for. ]]>Apr 15th 2010 2:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intel-says-light-peak-coming-next-year-can-and-will-coexist-wit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intel-says-light-peak-coming-next-year-can-and-will-coexist-wit/

Now, what would be cool, is if they could re-use the USB3 connector, and simply put the optical link in the middle (the plastic part that sticks out). That way it'd be backwards compatible on either end, but would support the higher speed if both ends are LightPeak enabled. So you'd buy a hard drive that would support USB, USB2, USB3 and Light Peak depending on the cable and computer you plugged it into with only one socket...]]>Apr 15th 2010 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intel-says-light-peak-coming-next-year-can-and-will-coexist-wit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intel-says-light-peak-coming-next-year-can-and-will-coexist-wit/

Yeah if they want to be "the last cable you'll ever need" they had better also have an electrical conductor. Hopefully they'll go with a higher max wattage standard than USB, otherwise they won't solve the "last cable you'll ever need" problem.

I have nothing against Light Peak but I do have a HUGE issue with Intel stifling USB 3.0. I need to charge my phone, I need to charge my headset etc. Intel may be gung ho on Light Peak but it is just an alternative. I use ethernet for my network I use USB for my phone and other devices.

Just like they did with Firewire back in the days.

If Apple had not ask for so much for Intel to use Firewire back then, we would all be using Firewire 800 nowadays instead of USB 2.
