‘Light Peak’, employs a high-speed optical cable 125 microns thick. That's about the thickness of a human hair. It's at the base of a new interconnect technology that Intel hopes will replace or augment connections used in consumer-based electronics, such as USB2.0, HDMI, Firewire and DVI. The technology is expandable and is expected to scale up to 100Gb/s over the next decade. The video below provides insight into this next-generation technology.
Technology – Presented at the Intel Developer Forum, Peak Light technology allows data transfer by broadband fiber optics. A standard which would have required Apple to Intel floor there two years ago. With Light Peak, Intel has developed a standard data transfer broadband fiber optic which is supposed to eventually bury the USB, Firewire, Ethernet, [...]
