Component maker VIA has just launched the worlds first USB 3.0 hub controller the VIA VL810 SuperSpeed Hub Controller. The new USB 3.0 hub supports speeds upto 5Gb/s ten times the speed of USB 2.0 ports and has one upstream and 4 downstream ports.

Along with power management features that include the ability for devices to communicate latency tolerance to the host and for links to enter progressively lower power states when link partners are idle, the VIA VL810 is unique in that it is the first USB hub controller to use advanced 80nm CMOS technology, further lowering the chip’s power usage.
