FireWire to climb to 3.2Gbps in 2008

A future version of FireWire will quadruple the speed of today’s fastest version, the IEEE 1394 Trade Association has revealed. Officially known as S3200, the format will build on the same connectors and technology used for today’s FireWire 800 but operate at a peak of 3.2 gigabits per second, or 400 megabytes per second.
