Intel to Roll Out 'Light Peak' Tech Thursday

According to C|Net, Intel has released a statement saying that the company will host a press briefing tomorrow announcing the roll out of Light Peak technology.

Intel has been working on Light Peak for years and recently said the initial version would be based on copper, as time-to-market realities necessitate more conventional technology. Light Peak is significantly faster than even USB 3.0, carrying data at 10 gigabits per second in both directions simultaneously. Connection speeds will not be affected by the transition to copper, according to Intel. In the future, Light Peak may scale to 100 gigabits per second, according to Intel.
