In was inevitable than anything as successful as USB 2.0 had to have a revised, higher-speed version. And so it does, on paper: SuperSpeed USB 3.0. This interface standard calls for operation of the USB protocol over standard traces at up to 5 Gbits/second, along with full backward-compatibility to USB 2.0. The applications are more or less obvious. Think of any situation in which consumers have to wait for a file to transfer between devices. HD video cameras, video-rental kiosks, and removable disk drives are examples. But the question that sticks in the SoC designer’s mind is “how the heck am I going to implement that?”

Yet now we are waiting for this new release, which will give us a difference.
