Intel demos Light Peak laptop; production by end of 2010

Intel have been showing off their Light Peak technology again, demonstrating the 10Gbit/sec connection as integrated into a new laptop by pumping out two simultaneous HD streams to a nearby HDTV.  The system used a specially adapter USB cable which paired the regular electrical wires with optical cabling, while the screen itself required a separate decoding box since it lacked the necessary Light Peak port.

As for the laptop, that gets a new 12mm square chip that converts the electrical signals into light pulses.  According to Intel
