Why so personal Anthony? I'm not an AMD fanboy because everybody knows
Apple business practices suck. Wow, didn't expect that.. Oh, you're an
Apple fanboy. LOL My bad..

So, by your definition, any new tech is a gimmick. I guess you hate on
everyone except amd these days, huh?

It is a gimmick. You don't think I know it's now included into
Applesauce products? Really? Good first effort by Intel and Job's Mob.
LOL Oh yeah, Intel changed their minds and based it on copper instead
of fiber. The company any intelligent person loves to despise more than
Intel itself. LOL Or is that Microsoft?

considered gimmicks? Seems unfair to me, as that word mostly has a
negative connotation.

It's just a gimmick at the present with great promise for the future.
Imagine having that kind of speed with future SSD's capable of
utilizing it. This is precisely the reason Intel has been very slow
to adopt USB 3 in their chipsets. They want to bypass and supplant
USB 3 entirely.

So I've read the Wikipedia article but I'm still not sure I get
*how* this is going to change things exactly...is this basically
only a faster means of transferring data from external devices (like
HDDs)? Is that all or are there more use cases I'm not thinking of?
And how do people feel this will compare to USB 3.0? Since I have
neither of them, it's an interesting question of which I'd rather
have/use going forward...thoughts? I know some people are saying
HDD speeds will be the bottleneck now, not the bus, so if so, what
would be the advantage of one over the other in practical, everyday
terms?
BINO
P.S. And is it just me, or was the time to market for this *really*
fast compared to other new tech that gets announced and seems to
take forever before we see it in implementation??
