@ 2011/04/15Busy bee Intel has said it will support USB 3.0 in 2012, integrating it into its Ivy Bridge chipsets.
Now that it's come out, it wants developers to being to target this technology along with Thunderbolt.
Kirk Skaugen, vice president at Intel Architecture Group, told delegates at a developer conference in Beijing that this is because the technologies complement rather than compete with each other.
Now it looks as though the feature will become more widespread as Intel plans to incorporate it into its Ivy Bridge chip family, which will follow Sandy Bridge. Intel wants others to play along, hoping for USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt to find its way into printers, scanners and cameras etc.
