Points:

• Intel is currently working on a technology and port that may come out as early as 2015
• New port would utilize Silicon Photonics
• Supports speeds of 50 Gbps
• Relies on silicon based photonics that can be produced with current silicon chip manufacturing techniques.
• Technology has the potential to revolutionize the world.
• May be used to replace electronic computing with photonic computing.
