Wired USB 2008: SuperSpeed is Coming
In-Stat/MDR, April 2008, Pages: 47
The universal serial bus (USB) saw continued worldwide success in 2007, with more than 2.6 billion devices shipping in the PC, PC peripheral, consumer electronics (CE), communications, and automotive segments. USB's star is expected to maintain its rise, with close to four billion devices expected to ship in 2012.
2008 is expected to be a pivotal marker of USB’s achievements as well, as the number of high-speed USB-enabled device shipments will surpass those of low- and full-speed devices. The CE segment has been a strong driver of this success, with continued adoption of USB in digital cameras, portable digital media players, and digital televisions.
The major buzz in the USB ecosystem is the impending arrival of the SuperSpeed USB specification. The USB 3.0 version of the specification, when implemented, is anticipated to deliver actual speeds of approximately 3Gbps, a rate significantly higher than that of high-speed USB. This speed is expected to be harnessed primarily by data- and media-intensive peripherals and consumer electronics, such as external hard-disk drives, portable digital media players, and digital cameras, as well as the PCs that these devices connect to. Products incorporating SuperSpeed USB are expected to arrive on the market in late 2009, and shipments of SuperSpeed USB-enabled products are expected to multiply twenty-fold by 2012.
