Intel Shows Off First Light Peak Laptop

Intel has demonstrated its Light Peak technology today using a laptop to, according to the article, send two separate HD video streams to a nearby television screen, without any visible lag.


Light Peak is an optical interconnect that can transfer data at 10Gbits/sec in both directions. Intel hopes Light Peak will one day replace the host of other PC interconnects, including USB, DisplayPort and HDMI. Intel has fitted Light Peak into a regular USB cable, with optical fibres running alongside the electrical cabling. Intel provided a visual demonstration of how data is passed through the cable, by shining a torch into one end of the cable, with two little dots of light visible to the naked eye at the other.
