In the news, Intel has given their specification for its high-speed Thunderbolt technology to the USB-IF implementers forum. This is the group which creates and manages USB technology. The USB4 specification will follow the current USB 3.2 specification, yet an exact date of release has not been defined. USB4 will double the bandwidth of USB […]
Intel has reported a problem between the Haswell processor, the next-generation microprocessor that uses 8-series cor-logic sets. Intel says when a PC system with Core i-series Haswell inside wakes from S3 sleep mode, it experiences issues with devices connected through USB 3.0. Intel defines the issue only as a nuisance for end users, but who […]
Seems a bit odd that Intel releases their X79 spec to replace the X58 and include 14 USB ports for 2.0 standard, but nothing for 3.0.
To be clear, we are not suggesting Intel has new information on the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed interface, but rather new information on how USB 3.0 technology will play with Intel’s new Panther Point Platform. What this means is that Intel will start native integration with their new chipset in the coming year. An interesting point […]
If rumors are to be true, Intel will be adding a USB 3.0 chipset to their winter 2010 lineup. The Intel Developer Forum is expected to showcase an Intel Cougar Point chipset for desktops. For a bit, it was said Intel will forgo the the USB 3.0 chipset in favor of LightPeak technology, but maybe […]
Today, a team of engineers will be recognized at the Computer History Museum for designing the first microprocessor in 1971, a 4-bit parallel CPU with 2,300 transistors. That project, from an infant Intel [3 years old], was a huge achievement and one can honestly say “it changed the world.” The Intel 4004 was the first […]
