The IEEE 1394 standard, better known as FireWire, will be receiving a new specification that is capable of supporting bandwidth of up to 3.2Gb/s. This is a huge boost, considering the current FireWire 400 and 800 specifications run at 400Mb/s and 800Mb/s, respectively. Good thing backwards compatibility will be retained, otherwise most of the computing world will kick up a huge fuss about the situation.
