New connector on MacBook Pro.

Finally after years of waiting for Apple and Intel officially introduced the new and integrated connectivity standard on the " Apple " MacBook Pro model. This connector, called Apple Thunderbolt by Apple, promises transfer speeds of up to 10Gb per second. The company also said that this speed is a dual channel, ie at one time both devices can receive and send data at the same speed.

The new connection standard was announced by Apple to be useful in addition to RAID connectivity, Gigabit Ethernet and good FireWire and USB support, along with other connectivity ports like HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort and VGA. Apple hopes that Thunderbolt will be widely accepted as a super high-speed connection standard. Even so, USB 3.0 may be one of Thunderbolt 's "worthy" competitors at this time.

Meanwhile, on its website, Intel also introduced a new connection technology called Light Peak (called Thunderbolt by Apple). Intel said that with this standard, users can transfer a standard HD movie in less than 30 seconds. The company also said the standard is compatible with DisplayPort or PCI Express protocols.
