Is this peer-2-peer like FireWire was or it is a client-server model like USB? I see people talking about this being copper or fibre. If this is fibre, then it can't supply power to the device like USB? I don't see that catching on for most portable devices (e.g. hard drives). It's extremely convenient to just have one cable for a device that needs connectivity and power when it comes to portable devices.

You can always have one optical fiber for data, and a metal conductor for power, wrapped up in the same cable / connector.

It’s copper, for the time being at least. Intel’s document says it can transmit up to 10W of power.
