USB 3.0 controller faster Renesas

The manufacturer Renesas Electronics has announced two new SuperSpeed USB controllers, and the μPD720201 μPD720202. These two USB 3.0 controllers third generation are supposed to be both faster and more energy efficient than current models. In practice, these two chips would improve by 40% write performance, as they consume 90% less power (4.5 mW) when inactive.

The icing on the cake, and μPD720201 μPD720202 are more compact (about 50%) than current controllers. Mass production of these controllers USB 3.0 is expected to begin in September 2011, which means they could be present on future motherboards Intel LGA 2011.
