Earlier this week we reported on allegations from AMD and Nvidia that Intel was purposefully delaying the release of the open host controller specifications for USB 3.0. For AMD and Nvidia's part they claim the delay is a purposeful attempt by Intel to give itself a market lead of 6 to 9 months for USB 3.0 hardware. Intel's Nick Knupffer has made a blog post this week claiming to dispel these myths surrounding USB 3.0. Knupffer points out in the blog that Intel is not developing the USB 3.0 specification, which is up to the USB Promoters Group (which Intel is a founding member of). What Intel is developing the specification for is the open host controller, which Knupffer says Intel has invested "gazillions of dollars and bazillions of engineering man hours" in creating. Intel says it's not holding the spec back for the open host controller, reiterating again that it is simply not ready. Knupffer says that Intel expects to provide the specs to other manufactures in the second half of 2008. Knupffer also points out that technology for USB 3.0 didn't come from PCI Express. Rather it says it contributed to both USB 3.0 and PCI Express insinuating that the spillover was from its own development process. About Everything USB
