Filed under: PeripheralsRemember middle school? These guys do. NVIDIA,
AMD, VIA and now SiS (only two capital letters? Not trying hard enough)
have all teamed up in a fight against Intel of truly pubescent
proportions. Intel has denied accusations of hiding the USB 3.0 spec,
since it's not their spec to hide, and claims it has no obligation to
disclose its actual host controller specification before it's ready.
This apparently has the other chip makers scrambling to make their own
host controller, so they aren't beholden to Intel's schedule. That
could cause problems for the end product -- if they don't build theirs
exactly like Intel's, and with Intel's already being on the market by
the time they're done, they'll have to return to the drawing board and
possibly delay their release by nine months. They claim this could give
Intel two years of zero competition in the USB 3.0 space, but Intel
figures since it plans to release the spec for free, is investing
heavily in its development, and isn't done yet anyways, it doesn't owe
those companies a thing. This just gets better and better. Read |
