Optical and cheaper Thunderbolt cable yet 2012
The Thunderbolt technology is lagging behind - especially much slower than expected 2011th Although, the number of peripheral devices on, but outside of Apple's Mac OS X is the world doing the expensive hardware Thunderbolt hard before. Only a few particularly expensive desktop PC motherboards are equipped with one of Intel's Thunderbolt chips. Intel itself has apparently not found a single desktop computer that supports Thunderbolt standard, and only four Thunderbolt-certified notebooks or ultrabooks: Acer Aspire S5, Asus and Lenovo ThinkPad T430 G55VW and T430s. The HP Spectre XT Intel still does not appear.
At the developer conference IDF Intel provides an update on the status of Thunderbolt things mentioned here but not for 2014 expected, faster Thunderbolt adapter. After all, Intel promises that are to appear before the end of both the long-awaited optical Thunderbolt cables and cheaper versions of electric cables. The latter - presumably with Intersil ISL37231 - will be available between 10 centimeters and 3 meters in length the former from 10 to 20 meters. Intel is also called concrete supplier: Digital Besides Apple and Sumitomo also Belkin, Elgato, Foxlink, Lintes, Startech.com and Western.
At Thunderbolt devices that are certified except for Apple computers and Windows and some support hot-plugging clean, is still lacking. Intel calls no website where you could find such a device - the product list on the Thunderbolt advertising page can not in any event filter by operating systems. Just days before the IDF announced Blackmagic but that the external video adapter Intensity Shuttle and Intensity Extreme run with the software version 9.6.4 desktop video smoothly under Windows. Besides these two Thunderbolt devices Intel said at IDF just 10 more that do not cost more than $ 299.
On the occasion of the IDF and the chip manufacturer NXP has announced Thunderbolt devices, including special switches: This device can switch internal signal paths, as for DisplayPort 1.2. Other NXP components protect the electronics from ESD (electrostatic discharge, ESD) Thunderbolt ports, without affecting the 10,3-GT / s to signal too much.
