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."

    Obviously he's been exposed to too much Apple marketing.

    Apple is pushing this stuff hard to make up for their poor engineering choices. Beyond that, it's value and appeal is pretty dubious.

    Or for people that like larger screens, people who don't like apple's OS, or for people who don't think a laptop should cost a month of a mortage. But that's neither here nor there, carry on with your status symbols.
