Intel and other companies are forming a group to promote USB 3.0, this will be even 10 times faster than 2.0, which is already running at 480Mbps, but soon the USB 3.0 will be able to transfer the data at speed up to 4.8 Gbit/s. It will remain be compatible with USB 2.0, which was always compatible with 1.1 version.
Intel stated that the USB 3.0 would be optimized for low power and improved protocol efficiency. The USB 3.0 ports and cabling will be designed with both copper and optical cable capabilities, which means even more higher speed is ensured in future.
The USB 3.0 specification should be out soon with the products arriving in 2009 - 2010.
