AMD beats Intel to the punch, confirms USB 3.0 support in future chipsets

When a leaked document strongly suggests that Intel’s upcoming Panther Point chipset will support USB 3.0, AMD’s unlikely to take that cheery news lying down. Not even an afternoon later, the underdog chip maker has confirmed that its A75 and A70M Fusion chipsets will support the common-or-garden protocol, which claims speeds ten times faster than USB 2.0. No word on when that’ll happen, or whether AMD will beat Chipzilla to market — but when nothing else it will possibly brag about being first out of the gate with an official plan. Huzzah!
