The Transformational PC I/O

Thunderbolt™ technology is a transformational I/O innovation thatprovides a leap in performance over current I/O technologies with10 Gbps of full-duplex bandwidth per channel. It significantlysimplifies

the end-user experience by concurrently supporting data(PCI Express*) and display (DisplayPort) connections over a singlecable. Thunderbolt products may be connected using electrical oroptical cables. Thunderbolt technology enables flexible and innovativesystem designs by allowing multiple, high-performance, PCI Expressand DisplayPort devices to attach to a computer through a singlephysical connector.
