Intel Panther: Support for Native USB and 3 Displays
Posted by Steven McPherson in "Digital Home News" @ 04:00 AM
"According to the seemingly authentic slide above that we've just obtained, it looks like the company's forthcoming Panther Point chipset will indeed include native USB 3.0 as previously rumored, along with support for both Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge processors, and support for up to three displays."
The new Intel Panther Point chip sounds amazing but while Intel is just confirming native USB 3.0 support AMD is in the process of shipping their new Fusion Hub chip set which provides native USB support. The new Panther Point will have native support for up to three displays, high speed storage, Ivy and Sandy Bridge CPU support. AMD might just have their hands full with Intel's new chip set even though they are already shipping their new processors.
