Thunderbolt technology developed by Intel on collaboration with Apple as they made a new breakthrough from USB, PCI Express and FireWire to create a fastest input/output technology designed for performance, simplicity, and flexibility. Thunderbolt I/O technology gives you two channels on the same connector with 10 Gbps of throughput in both directions. That makes Thunderbolt ultrafast and ultraflexible. You can move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than with FireWire 800. Thunderbolt I/O technology provides native support for Mini DisplayPort displays. It also supports DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, and VGA displays through the use of existing adapters.
