Intel, not be outdone by a eight core cpu, has been working with many partners on USB 3.0. At the moment, they are promising a increase in speed by ten. They expect USB 3.0 to be able to have a speed of up to 4Gbs. To put that in perspective, USB 2.0 caps out at 480Mbs, FireWire 1394 caps out at 800Mbs. This is a huge increase in speed. This will have pave the way for more external technology such as external HD-DVD/BluRay drives, externel graphics cards, and many other technolgy that was tethered to your motherboard. The new technology uses fiber optics to carry data to and from the computer.
Side Note:
This beats the speed of ALL current external ports, including eSATA(3000Mbs) and Fibre Channel(4000Mbs).
