USB3.0 Standards and Thunderbolt technology are a major step forward in the field of external connectivity. However, progress is always there, and recently Intel has claimed that it has made a major breakthrough in USB technology. This breakthrough is shocking, that is, the maximum USB output power from the original 10 watts to 100 watts.
So how powerful is the USB Superspeed 3.0 with 100 watts of power? Take a desktop computer example, USB Superspeed 3.0 can support both a printer and two LCD screens, so you can use multiple external devices at the same time.
In addition, if your computer is equipped with this SuperSpeed 3.0 interface, you can fully power your phone or tablet for a moment. That's because the interface provides 20 volts, 5 amps of current, with total power up to 100 watts.
This new USB 3.0 standard not only has the above benefits, but also has a positive impact on the environment. Because high power means that USB connectors and data cables can be scaled down, electronic waste is reduced.
This new USB standard is not only high power, but also has a high transmission rate. Intel is really bull and has raised the transmission rate limit for USB3.0 and thunderbolt by one-fold. So the next generation of hardware will transmit the data at a 10Gbps rate via the USB interface, and the transmission rate will reach 20Gbps via the Thunderbolt interface.
Such breakthroughs should encourage manufacturers to make more outstanding equipment. But what we want to see most is really useful external video memory card, because this kind of card is really not good.
