Intel sees Peak Light technology their potential "successor" USB 3.0. Peak Light Intel announced back in 2009, hoping it broadly used in devices ranging from PCs to customer electronics and many other utilities, said Kevin Kahn, a senior fellow at Intel said in a speech at Intel Developer Forum in Beijing.

Intel will make the technology "presence" at the end of this year and hopefully, the partners will start launching the device with the Light Peak in the following year. "We see this as a logical successor in the future for USB 3.0," Mr. Kahn said.
Trends optical link instead of electricity increases the chance that many individual fiber can appear for multiple protocols, such as USB and SATA, said Justin Rattner, head of Intel Labs says IDF sidelines. Peak Light can run multiple protocols simultaneously on the same line (line), so all data for the cable can be run separately in the same cable Light Peak.

USB is now widely used to link between devices such as computers, mobile phones, digital cameras and external hard drive. Intel said there is no conflict between the two technologies, on the contrary also complement each other because the Light Peak USB and allows many different protocols together on a cable run longer, at higher speeds in the future.

In his speeches, Mr. Kahn uses a laptop built Light Peak. There is a long strand Peak Light, thin laptop with a link to plug and monitor, are used simultaneously to transfer Blu-ray video, data streams from high-definition camera, and cloning display screen of a notebook to another. Light Peak We can transfer data at speeds 10Gb/giay, fast enough to send a Blu-ray movies in less than half a minute. According to Intel, the speed of this technology could increase 10 times over the next decade.
