Just when you thought USB 3.0 couldn't get any better than it already is, VIA and American Megatrends (the AMI BIOS guys), are bringing better power management, pre-boot support and network sharing options to the VIA VL800 USB 3.0 host controller."The eXtensible Host Controller Interface (xHCI) architecture provides a new industry standard for interfacing to USB devices, and delivers the extensibility necessary to meet today's needs for speed, power savings, and virtualization support. With greatly improved protocol efficiency, xHCI enables platforms to become more power efficient without sacrificing performance. xHCI and UEFI enable robust USB resource management and add support for native USB device sharing across virtual machines.
AMI's BIOS module provides essential support for the new architectures, and allows customers to begin utilizing USB 3.0 in the pre-boot environment."
