Intel Announces Next Generation 20 Gbps Thunderbolt

Posted April 8, 2013 at 7:29pm by iClarified
Intel has just announced the next generation of Thunderbolt featuring speeds up to 20 Gbps, reports Engadget.

Intel just introduced the next generation of its Thunderbolt interface, which promises 20 Gbps in both directions (on each of the two channels) as opposed to 10 Gbps for its previous version. Of course, the company stepped back for a moment first, boasting that Thunderbolt currently has about 200 licensees, and more compatible devices -- along with new, thinner cables -- should be coming out in the following months.

The new Thunderbolt host connector is codenamed Redwood Ridge and will be built into the its upcoming fourth generator Core processors. Another Thunderbolt tech codenamed Falcon Ridge will enable simultaneous 4K video file transfer and display in addition to running at 20 Gbps. The new technology will be backwards compatible with existing cables and connectors. Production is expected to begin in 2014.

Drop the price for any given Thunderbolt device by 75% and maybe people would actually buy a Thunderbolt device. Why pay 400 bucks when USB 3.0 is 100?
