Light Peak Goes To The Dark Side!

Intel decided to first introduce Light Peak in a “copper version” and an optical version later. No launch date set yet. Intel sees 10G Light Peak “alongside of 5G USB 3.0” although consumers may not see it that way. Intel’s Light Peak is still in product development.

Light Peak is a 10G optical product designed to converge all the various PC I/Os such as VGA, HDMI, USB, DisplayPort, FireWire, Ethernet etc. and for Ethernet server interconnects. Intel announced the all the “parts” are available from various suppliers for production –but no formal product launch.
