Light Peak is a new I/O interconnect technology developed by Intel aimed at connecting computing and consumer electronic devices to each other. Light Peak delivers high bandwidth starting at 10 Gb/s and scaling to 100 Gb/s over the next decade. Light Peak also has the ability to run multiple protocols simultaneously over a single cable, enabling the technology to connect devices such as peripherals, displays, disk drives, docking stations, and more.
This talk will give a technical overview of the Light Peak interconnect and describe potential applications of Light Peak across the computing landscape from smart phones to personal computers to servers.
