Back at IDF 2010, we wrote about Intel Light Peak nearing its eventual launch in 2011. Back then, the story was a 10 Gbps or faster physical link tunneling virtually every protocol under the sun over optical fiber. Though an optical physical layer provided the speed, in reality the connector and physical layer itself wasn't as important as the tunneling and signaling going on beneath it. Daisy chain devices together, and connect everything with one unified connector and port.
That dream lives on today, but sans optical fiber and under a different name. Intel's codename "Light Peak" is now named Thunderbolt.
