14 August 2008 No Comment

Intel has released part of the draft specification of Universal Serial Bus (USB) 3.0, the next major revision to the peripheral interface standard used throughout the computing world. The company has provided information on the Extensive Host Controller Interface (xHCI) to members of its USB 3.0 Promoter Group, made up of HP, Intel, Microsoft, NEC, and others.

USB 3.0 (also called “SuperSpeed USB”) is expected to operate at 4.8 gigabits per second (Gbps), ten times faster than the 480 megabits per second (Mbps) theoretical maximum of USB 2.0. USB 3.0 will be backward-compatible with existing devices.
