Light Peak to debut using copper instead of fiber optics

[dividebyzero]

Get a clue mate, if you are turning the signal from copper>fiber>copper there is no point in the fiber at all as it limits both ends at the copper..

copper>copper>copper for power delivery
copper>fibre>copper for data transmission

What part of that did you not understand?

Now stop being so aragant (sic) as to think having a user name on a forum makes you better than a "guest", there are always going to be people smarter than you.

Thats a given...although I doubt, judging by your comprehension, grammar and spelling skills that you are one of them.

Might I be so bold as to remind everyone that electricity travels at or near the speed of light anyway.

So, let's play "rock, paper, fiber" or maybe that was, "copper scissors, glass".


So when light peak is fully operational, will an email cause the light bulb on top of my head to come on?

Ah, but you're talking about regular electricity I take it? How about the reaaaaaalllly slow kind of electricity that is generated in the neurons of fanboys, trolls and Baltimore Ravens fans?

Please contact your ISP for the latest equipment upgrade.

InfiniBand has my vote.

"But, if we give everyone InfiniBand then how will we maintain control?"

Yawn....

When Intel decides what they have and how they are going to release give me a call.
They've changed so many times what it's going to be and what it's going to do.

In the meantime, Intel, please put USB3 on your chipsets.
