3rd generation Intel core processors supported by DisplayLink with USB 3.0

DisplayLink has announced its support for 3rd generation Intel core processors and supporting mobile Intel HM76 and Intel B75 express chipsets with SuperSpeed USB 3.0.

DisplayLink's DL-3000 chip platform with USB 3.0 is shipping today in adapters, monitors and docking stations from different vendors. The broad availability of onboard USB 3.0 in systems using 3rd generation Intel core processors means that a huge new segment of the market now has access to easy-to-use docking, and multi-display possibilities.

With DisplayLink technology, ultrabook devices can enjoy full docking station functionality. Portable USB 3.0 monitors can be connected without a separate power cable. Up to six displays can be driven by a single computer over just one "plug and display" USB cable.

"USB 3.0 will soon be universally available on nearly all new PCs, which means that products incorporating DisplayLink's DL-3000 chip platform have a huge new base of potential users," said John Cummins, VP of sales and marketing for DisplayLink. "It's never been easier for IT departments, small businesses and mobile professionals to have it all - docking stations, multiple displays, lightning-fast connectivity, HD quality, and travel-ready convenience - at minimal expense with no configuration headaches."
