If this is accurate, it looks as though Apple will be among the first to market with lightpeak in their upcoming devices. This is a smart move, and once again, one that the industry should take notice of.
Lightpeak will dramatically shrink the connector
The connector is ultra-low power, and the chipset footprint is tiny.
while light peak is technically interesting, i worry about intel using it as leverage to control the direction of the tech world. They did try to get a 1 year exclucive on usb3 host chips for instance.
My guess is that bids to control the technology will potentially hurt its rate of adoption unless intel plans to price it low and fully meet demand.
