LAHORE: Intel
Corporation announced the availability of 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 10Gbps,
Thunderbolt technology can transfer a full-length HD movie in less than
30 seconds. 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, said a press release issued
here on Monday.
The vision for
Thunderbolt technology is to move media faster, simplify connections
between devices, and foster new and exciting ways to build and use PCs.
Combining high-speed data and HD video connections together onto a
single cable is instrumental to achieving that vision.
Thunderbolt
technology delivers this via two communications methods, or protocols
for data transfer and Display Port for displays. PCI Express has the
flexibility to connect to almost any type of device, and Display Port
can drive greater than 1080p resolution displays and up to eight
channels of audio simultaneously. PPI
