NEC has announced that they’re ahead of others to have produced the world’s first hardware controller that supports the USB 3.0 standard. The little controller chipset is called µPD720200, lets computers and other devices communicate with USB 3.0 peripherals and allows the theoretical maximum data transfer speed of 5Gbps – about 10 times faster than USB 2.0.
