Faster USB Likely to be adopted by Apple in Future Macs
Apple has a reputation of including the latest standards in their products and so it's highly likely that Apple will be adopting the new USB 3.1 standard in future products.
According to a new report, the USB 3.0 Promoter Group has announced the completion of the USB 3.1 specification which adds enhancements to enable SuperSpeed USB to operate at up to 10Gbps.
SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps will use more efficient data encoding and deliver more than twice the effective data through-put performance of existing SuperSpeed USB over enhanced, fully backward compatible USB connectors and cables.
The USB 3.0 Promoter Group Chairman Brad Saunders stated that "The specification team worked hard to make sure that the changes made to support higher speeds were limited and remained consistent with existing USB 3.0 architecture to ease product development."
USB 3.1 will be promoted at Developers Day on August 21, 2013, Hillsboro, Oregon.
