The Zone

It seems that Intel isn't quite ready in revealing its USB 3.0 plans just yet and its partners are getting impatient as quite a bit of work has to go into their respective host controllers and the later they recieve the specsheet from Intel, the more they'll have to spend in controller RnD. Too bad NVIDIA and gang (AMD, SiS and VIA) has teamed up to produce a host controller of their own, in a race to the first marketable product. So what does this mean for consumers like you and me? We'll have to wait even longer for that 4.8Gbps cable link. Then again, the wait will be worth it as the more mature product gets shipped unless Intel pulls off another specs change.
