Today Apple updated the MacBook Pro family with next generation processors and graphics, a�new FaceTime HD camera and�high-speed Thunderbolt I/O technology. The Thunderbolt I/O technology (previously known as LightPeak) is a revolutionary I/O technology that supports high-resolution displays and high-performance�data devices through a single, compact port.�Featuring two bi-directional channels with transfer speeds up to an amazing 10Gbps each, Thunderbolt delivers PCI Express directly to external high performance peripherals such as RAID arrays, and can support FireWire and USB consumer devices and Gigabit Ethernet networks via adapters. Thunderbolt also supports DisplayPort for high resolution displays and works with existing adapters for HDMI, DVI and VGA displays.
We first learned of this technology from an Engadget article. According to this article and the Apple press release, we�can learn that Apple is going to use this technology in all of its product line, including the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. It will be interesting to see if Apple will introduce this technology in the iPad 2 that is�rumored to be announced next week.
More details on the new MacBook Pro and the�Thunderbolt I/O technology can be found in the Apple press release.
