Intel wants to add USB 3.0 quicker than foreseen?

This is still just a rumour spun by Semi Accurate  but it could sound like a thunder clap since Intel, who did not want to support the USB 3.0 standard in its chipsets. The foundry now thinks of rather quickly launching a controller similar to that of NEC about which we recently spoke to you in order to compete with it.
The product would perform the same function and in the same manner. The chip installed on the mother board would come to use the PCI-Express in order to connect itself to the remainder of the machine and would add two ports USB 3.0 to the machine. Note that this external configuration is limited by the bus to 250 MB/s and this is much lower than its maximum but already enough for the rare peripherals on offer that one can connect.
The arrival of Intel shows that they realized that they have made a strategic error. It will nevertheless benefit the manufacturers who will pay some dollars less for their mother boards and thus for the consumers, the offer of machines with USB 3.0 will quickly move to the front of the pack.
On the side of Apple, it is still impossible to know what they will do, and when. It is in any case certain that if you keep your computers during many years, it would be more intelligent if you have the possibility of it and thus to wait for the Mac USB 3.0, the absence of this connector is likely to penalize you greatly in 12 to 18 months.
