Speedy USB 3.0 will be in PCs by
Christmas




We knew the super-fast next-generation USB standard would be coming along
sometime in the future, but we hadn't guessed that it might be just a few weeks
away.
According to the New York Times , the hardware needed to mass-produce USB 3.0
chipsets is ready and production will begin in earnest in as little as two
months.
September, say sources
Citing sources in Japan, the NYT says NEC will be pumping out SuperSpeed USB
3.0 interfaces from September and that PCs with the new connector will be
available before the end of the year.
That promises data transfers of up to 5Gbps, which will be more than enough
to handle streaming high-definition video, and to sound a death knell for good
old USB 2.0.
