Intel to announce addition of USB 3.0 into new motherboard reference design, says paper

As AMD is already preparing to integrate USB 3.0 into its future chipset designs, Intel is expected to announce the addition of a USB 3.0 host controller into its Cougar Point motherboard reference design at Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2010 in the US, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report.

The announcement is expected to speed up the standardization of USB 3.0 and benefit USB 3.0 chip makers, the paper added.

We'll probably start seeing more headway from OEM's too into USB3.0.

Would be nice to finally see more mainstream laptops have it, desktops too.
