New Thunderbolt Revision Features 20 Gbps Throughput, 4K Video Support

Posted by Unknown on from the lots-of-bits dept.

hooligun writes "The next-gen Thunderbolt tech (code-named Falcon Ridge) enables 4K video file transfer and display simultaneously in addition to running at 20 Gbps. It will be backward-compatible with previous-gen Thunderbolt cables and connectors, and production is set to ramp up in 2014. An on-stage demo with fresh-off-the-press silicon showed the new Thunderbolt running 1,200 Mbps, which is certainly a step up from what's currently on the market."

    Just what we need - another microscopic connector that's almost indistinguishable from MicroUSB/MicroHDMI, etc.

    Thanks, Apple.
