Ahh sure, they realise that you know.

So if I recall v1 can handle four things on one port. So you have gigabit Ethernet, display and two USB 3.0 devices hanging off the end.

More useful is that the one port can serve different needs. You might need 4 USB, I might need 2 display and 2 sata, someone else needs 4 serial ports. We can do it with the same laptop and one port.

Apparently they will have adapters on the cable end so you can plug in any legacy format. Apparently.

It's not just about a 10gbp pipe. Even still, it's a bottle neck out the way. Also it has already been tested up to 5km or something. Mmm a lightpeak network in a media shop and anyone can access any drive like it was local, or any display.

HDMI started its development in 2002. Only a year later, the first products with it were released. Now, only seven years later, is pretty much the de facto standard and not a single LCD TV is sold without it.

So, if this works, it won't take 20 years to be widely adapted. More like 4-5 years. Specially when you consider Intel is the company behind. I would be surprised if we don¡t get to see the first commercial units in the next couple of years.]]>May 4th 2010 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/May 4th 2010 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/15/intel-says-light-peak-coming-next-year-can-and-will-coexist-wit/]]>May 4th 2010 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/May 4th 2010 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/Or you could just have lightpeak replace LAN and Firewire and display connections.]]>May 4th 2010 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/May 4th 2010 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/May 4th 2010 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/May 4th 2010 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/May 4th 2010 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/intel-demonstrates-light-peak-on-a-laptop-says-10gbps-speeds-ar/On motherboards available nationwide, and on newegg too:
