Intel: Light Peak switches on in 2012 9/16/2010 2:06 AM EDT eetimes.com SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Intel Corp. showed a demo of the 10 G bit/second Light Peak optical interconnect at its annual Intel Developer Forum and said it will be ready to go into systems as early as 2012. That's about the same time the USB 3.0 interconnect is expected to ramp into high volume with support in chip sets. At IDF Intel showed a Compal notebook linked to an Avid audio processor and Western Digital storage system to handle professional audio editing (see video here). An Intel ecosystem manager for Light Peak said the systems all used an Intel controller for Light Peak. Chips for the optical interconnect will be available in 2011 and systems could hit the market in 2012, he said. Separately, PLX Technology showed at IDF a demo of Light Peak carrying PCI Express 3.0 traffic between systems. Intel first announced Light Peak at IDF last year. At that time it suggested the technology might still be years away from use in real products. The Intel spokesman said Light Peak and USB 3.0 could both be used on future systems and serve complimentary roles. USB 3.0 supports rates up to 5 GigaTransfers/second and data transfers of at least 300 Mbytes/second. A representative from Texas Instruments estimated as many as 40 million notebooks could ship with USB 3.0 next year. The company will sample before the end of the year a four-port USB 3.0 controller that requires no external flash and will sell for about four dollars in 100,000 unit quantities. Intel is expected to deliver chip sets supporting USB 3.0 by 2012, driving the technology into mainstream systems.
