Thunderbolt system provides the ability to connect to multiple PC peripherals through a single high-speed line. The Bandwidth connection of the current version is up to 10 Gbit / seconds, which is twice higher than that of the interface USB 3.0. Thunderbolt ports are equipped with mostly Apple computers and some devices from other manufacturers - for example, external drives.

At NAB 2013 was shown Thunderbolt-controller DSL4510/4410, which provides support for DisplayPort 1.2 and improved power management. Furthermore, the product can reduce the cost of implementing Thunderbolt in the end devices.

Intel also demonstrated a prototype of the next-generation Thunderbolt controllers, codenamed “Falcon Ridge”. It will provide capacity of up to 20 Gbit / seconds, which is twice as high compared to the current version of the Thunderbolt.

Pilot production of controllers for Falcon Ridge is scheduled to begin by the end of the year, and a mass production is scheduled in 2014.
