The processor giant Intel have recently shown a development in high speed optical cables to transfer data from your favourite computer or gadget appliances.

“Light Peak” as it’s known works better than your standard copper wired cables due to the fact it uses fibre optic cables instead which can deliver 10Gb/s of bandwith with the future ability of up to 100Gb/s, which in theory means it could transfer an entire Blu-Ray disc in 30 seconds(WOW!)

However a little snag in this is that it would have to be accepted industry-wide by all the other companies and hardware manufacturers etc, but hopefully this shouldn’t be beyond Intel to sort out due to the influence they have on the computing world.
