CES 2010 -- Intel Keynote: Light Peak, Future I/O

During his keynote at 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, Intel CEO Paul Otellini talked about a technology developed by Intel Labs called Light Peak, a future in-put/out-put high speed interconnection technology that uses fiber optics.

lol so now people can pirate movies even faster!

Light Peak + solid state disks = Lightning fast disk performance.

SATA, USB and FireWire: rest in peace. Thanks for the service and memories, but you'll be going the way of floppies around 2012.

@LowFrequencyz I absolutely agree, apple just rip off technology and claim they invented it. If it wasn't for fucking Apple I'd have light peak right now. But no, I have to wait because a company of lying and brainwashing assholes wants it for their piece of shit over priced hardware and then some idiot in Apples marketing department gives it an idiotic name like thunderbolt. Thank you assholes, all the Employees at Apple Computer, incorporated can get fucked.

@nfortissimo

Apple just fucking bought it off intel, they didn't help do shit

Notice he mentioned nothing about apple in the video but rather alot about PC

[Wizbang2u]

lol ... fast ???

[morzee94]

I hope it's only apple who call this thunderbolt

[drrobertoboogie97]

I'm waiting for Wireless Thunderbolt

[nfortissimo]

And apple did it today. Intel and Apple designed the project together, and it's now called thunderbolt.

@papalolita Light Peak + Memristor = Lightning fast....

[Divinelighte]

@papalolita probably will see the elimination of ram all together :0

[WalterSolano]

shit i wantd to see more

@papalolita A few points:

The D in SSD does not stand for Disc, as there is no platter, it's for Drive (which doesn't make a lot more sense either, since it's solid state...)

There are already people with SSD RAIDs doing 1,5-2GB/s sequential bandwidth and well above 100.000 IOPS. LightPeak will only alleviate the bottleneck, not remove it. FusionIO has ioDrive Octal that does 6GB/s sequentials and 800K IOPS on PCIe 2.0 x16. It's about the size of a high-end graphics card.
