NEC Developing LSI Communication Inteface with Blistering 16Gb/s Speed
 

NEC Corporation and NEC Electronics Corporation announced today the development and successful demonstration of LSI technology for next-generation high-speed serial communication interfaces. This new technology allows inter-chip communication that is three times faster than modern communication interface standards, such as USB 3.0 and PCI Express 2... [ Read full article ]

interesting I suppose - but pci-e 3.0 1x can already do 1 GB/s... I doubt they are going to incorporate a whole new architecture for double the speed. just add an extra pci-e lane ad you're set :D

Can't we just get some standards going? I mean, I like innovation and all, but I don't want to have 40 different standards for connectivity.

Another thing, where is this news from? I don't see any sources. Whether it's original or not, the source of information has to be there...
