The ICE1712 doesn't have anything to do with FW - it's an audio chip.
FW needs a different controlling chip, like a VT6306.

You can still get FW cards and even motherboards with it onboard, but it's
getting a lot more scarce.  I have an Alesis 16 channel FW mixer I use for
live work and it's nice getting discrete channels out for recording as a 
bonus.  

I think USB3 will become much more of a standard than TB for the
exact same reasons that USB2 became much more prevalent than FW.
