    Yesterday Intel officially introduced the Thunderbolt technology, a new high-speed PC connection technology that brings together high-speed data transfer and high-definition (HD) display on to a single cable. Running at 10 Gbps, Thunderbolt technology can transfer a full-length HD movie in less than 30 seconds.


    Thunderbolt technology is powered by an Intel controller chip, and uses a small connector suitable for mobile devices that will be included in products supporting the technology.
    The vision for Thunderbolt technology (formerly codenamed “Light Peak”) is to move media faster, simplify connections between devices, and foster new and exciting ways to build and use PCs. Thunderbolt technology uses two protocols — PCI Express for data transfer and DisplayPort for displays.
    PCI Express has the flexibility to connect to almost any type of device, and DisplayPort can drive greater than 1080p resolution displays and up to eight channels of audio simultaneously.
    Bottom line is, Thunderbolt technology will make your job easier and save good amount of time which gets wasted while we wait for data transfers to finish.
    This Intel-developed technology is coming to market through a technical collaboration with Apple, and is available first on Apple’s new line of MacBook Pro laptop computers.
    In coming days we’ll see many more devices featuring Thunderbolt technology.
