Exclusive: Apple dictated Light Peak creation to Intel, could begin migration from other standards as early as 2010 {Engadget}

Sep 26th 2009 9:18PM Light Peak = The Revenge of Firewire

Instead of competing with Intel, this time Apple is working with Intel to create the standard they desire. If this is even half as good as it sounds (regarding speed, cost to implement, etc.), there will likely be no USB 4.0.

USB 3.0 itself might have a rather short period of popularity unless Intel makes the mistake of not including any power provision in the Light Peak specification.


For those thinking Apple will skip USB 3.0, unless Intel (or NVIDIA or ATI) makes motherboard chipsets going forward that omit 3.0, that means Apple would have to purposely leave out the connectors. Given the number of peripherals that require USB 2.0, this would be rather ridiculous.
