Intel's Thunderbolt Technology in Action

Intel's Jason Ziller shows has fast and how much data can be transferred by Intel's Thunderbolt technology, previously referred to its codename Light Peak. The 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 10Gbps, Thunderbolt technology can transfer a full-length HD movie in less than 30 seconds. This Intel-developed technology first hit the market through a technical collaboration with Apple, and is available first on Apple's line of MacBook Pro laptop computers.

wish i had mac

@TheKazable Yup, my mistake. I was thinking 12 times faster than FireWire when I typed that.

Its a high end device for professionals making movies to live on, not us the daddy and mommy users with 1-2 videos a week. Gas is too expensive now, we have to take kids to school and back can't afford space odyssey 2001 cable!

[TheKazable]

@BlackOasis21 Thunderbolt is actually only about twice as fast as USB 3.0...

Also the important factor in this guys demonstration is not the cable, its the raid array. Unless your using a striping array, having a data cable that fast is completely pointless.

@Neurohypothesis Thunderbolt interface is 12 times faster than usb 3. Granted usb 3 physical int. is bkwd compatible with usb 2, but I don't really get your point (Even though you didn't make one).

[Neurohypothesis]

thunderbolt sucks dick. I am sorry, but my macbook pro has 2 usbs. please but 2 usbs and 1 usb 3.0, i have never ever used a fucking thunderbolt cable. disappointed.

@readthename HE'S ALIVE!!!!

@zhangpe1 Lmao cuz back then he was too young.

[zhangpe1]

@4321cm Why couldn't this Bush have been president?

[cardillusions]

@nsnarayan10 i think it can be, but in this case its just another screen that hes showing it on, not a computer

[nsnarayan10]

@cardillusions oh u mean connection from 1 pc to another pc can be established from thunderbolt technology? and i really appreciate ur concern and response.thank you

[cardillusions]

@nsnarayan10 well basically if you have a mac with thunderbolt you can get an external display that connects to it, and he was just demonstrating that with FCP.

[nsnarayan10]

@cardillusions and i guessed it was for peripheral devices.thank u again

[nsnarayan10]

@cardillusions thanks buddy,nobody bothered to respond but u did.he also said something abt display which i could not get it clearly,what was that?
