Looks interesting, but how much would it cost?
And would Intel be willing to let other board manufacturers in on the technology?
Intel mobo sales would rise quite a bit if they had an exclusive feature that wasn't merely a "tickbox" one

Don't see it happening soon. Besides waiting for everybody else to be compliant.
Yes interesting though. Ive seen and read before.

Here I was going to get a usb 3.0 pcmcia adapter for my laptop. Consumers are having trouble keeping up with the output of tecnology.

Seriously though, looks interesting. I noticed that you can use it with monitors...that'd be interesting.

My question is, is it able to power peripherals?
