I'm not sure if 2x USB3 is useless, especially for HD video, storage etc (lacie will have products by mid year).Useless for now...
If nothing is fast enough to write at that speed - why wait for something even faster ? Also, may I ask for your source of the 'ETA is next year...' for the optical variant ? That's not my understanding...Useless for now... nothing is fast enough to write at that speed.
Also the version coming out from Apple is a really really basic 'copper' one, which is a joke. They just want an excuse to charge even more money right now. Just like the iPad with no camera... bring it out now and then a couple month after, V2 with a camera built in...
Wait for the optical versions to come out which is 10x faster. ETA is next year.
Oh and its also called Light Peak.
Screenshot from my computer. Its already in excess of what thunderbolt can accommodate... Having this capability with a Macbook as the controller is awesome news.We are talking 10 Gbit/s (1000 mb/s) for the copper one and 100 Gbit/s (10,000 mb/s) for the optical one.
Please, do tell what writes that fast so i can purchase it asap!!!
My source is the same as everyone else talking about it... Intel and the regular tech news sources.
Bus-powered devices over an optical version?Also the version coming out from Apple is a really really basic 'copper' one, which is a joke.
Wait for the optical versions to come out which is 10x faster. ETA is next year.
How about a monitor with a built in graphics card? Connect your MacBook and get a performance boost.We are talking 10 Gbit/s (1000 mb/s) for the copper one and 100 Gbit/s (10,000 mb/s) for the optical one.

Not anymore. Intel also calls it Thunderbolt now. Light Peak was a work title.Oh and its also called Light Peak.
Nope.We are talking 10 Gbit/s (1000 mb/s) for the copper one and 100 Gbit/s (10,000 mb/s) for the optical one.
