After a splashy introduction nearly a year-and-a-half ago, Intel's Thunderbolt interface has had a slow trek to PCs. Finally, however, Intel-based motherboards are appearing with this highly anticipated input/output interface onboard. And various options are here or are coming soon that will give you some choice in how you to implement Thunderbolt to maximum advantage.
Intel began developing Thunderbolt back in 2009, but the technology has evolved dramatically since its conception at Intel Labs and its formal introduction last year.
Today's Thunderbolt can deliver up to 10 gigabits per second across Thunderbolt's two channels. You can split bandwidth across up to seven devices, since Thunderbolt--like FireWire 800 before it--supports daisy-chaining. Thunderbolt also supports both the PCI Express (PCIe) and DisplayPort protocols.
