USB 3.0 specifications released

By: Matthias Bauer

Intel released the version 0.9 of its USB 3.0 specifications.

There were some charges of manufacturers like AMD, VIA, Nvidia and SiS, which say that Intel represses the USB 3.0 specifications (to have an advantage at the market and provide the first devices).

Intel declined those charges and said that they will release the specifications when they are done. Now it seems like they are, because Intel presented the Extensible Host Controller Interface (xHCI) specifications version 0.9.

Now, every manufacturer can start producing its own USB 3.0 devices.
