USB 3.0 seems to have been longing for the release. And last week’s rumors around who will be the first time lauching USB 3.0 board is asus, which was said to produce motherboard P6X58. Some said it’s not rumor, but some other said it’s just a rumor. Fujitsu is the one replacing Asus for the same headline. Fujitsu in this case will manufacture – or in the middle of process- of manufacturing SATA bridge chip 3.0.

USB 3.0 – Super Speed USB

A little description about this much-awaited-board, USB 3.0 will be named as a  Super Speed USB (USB 2.0 right now is called High Speed USB).

Compared to USB 2.0 which has transfer rate of 480Mbps, USB 3.0 is able to transfer data up to 5Gbps/second. 5Gbps can be illustrated as it takes only 2-3 minutes transferring 2 hours length video files.

So which one to launch USB 3.0 for the first time ? it is asus or fujitsu ?. I guess we just have to wait the launching for real.
