USB 3.0 is aiming for 10 times the bandwidth of current USB2.0 solutions, or approximately 5Gbps.

Since this requires fiber optic cabling, USB 3.0 will add a length of optical data cable to the mix, though USB 3.0 will retain full compatibility with USB 2.0 (and, one assumes, USB 1.0 as well).

That's 5 gigabits right?

625 megabytes per second, yes?

Yes although whether it achieves that data rate in the end is another story

And 50% CPU usage? Silly USB.

I've heard of the 3.0 a while ago in some PC builder magazine that it was being developed,but this was the first online article I saw
