[PConline News] New Year's surprise, Intel announced on the last day of 2017 that the future Thunderbolt 3 controller will be integrated in the CPU and will provide technology licenses to manufacturers for free. Before thunder and lightning 3 technology or their own single play, but later found that everyone does not play with ta, in time into the Typc-C interface, because the Type-C interface is easy to use and compact, currently has major mobile equipment manufacturers Adopted, and this Intel "acceleration + free" acceleration, I believe that the future of data interfaces by the Type-C unification is not far off.
Thunderbolt’s initial program code was Light Peak, a connector standard released by Intel. The early laboratories used fiber optic transmission. After cooperating with Apple, they developed and used copper wire and Apple’s Mini Displayport interface. .
Thunderbolt 1 uses a copper core connection. At that time, Thunderbolt 1 integrated PCI-E and DisplayPort data transmission technologies to provide bidirectional 10Gbps bandwidth and video output. Thunderbolt 2 is increased in bandwidth, becoming a bi-directional 20Gbps, capable of supporting 4K video output, but Thunderbolt 1 and Thunderbolt 2 are due to cost and technical licensing reasons, and in the early days due to Apple's monopolized technology relationship, Thunderbolt The interface is also only carried on Apple's Mini DisplayPort interface. For various reasons, the first and second generations of lightning technology have not been widely adopted by everyone.
But then, Intel felt that he should still do the technology. At Computex 2015, Intel brought a lightning 3 interface with twice the bandwidth, the bandwidth of the Thunder 3 interface doubled to 40Gbps, and the interface Change to USB Type-C. The advantage of USB Type-C is that the interface is small and it can be plugged in both positive and negative directions.
Thunderbolt 3 (Thunderbolt 3) USBType-C interface can do more things up to support 5K video output, 100W high-power charging, graphics expansion interface and so on. Now Intel will popularize Thunderbolt 3 to every CPU in the future, and at the same time grant free technical licensing, which will reduce the hardware cost of the manufacturer, the design cost of the motherboard, and also reduce the licensing fees. We do not know what the manufacturers think, but we For consumers, at least in the future, we do not have to confuse which interface device to choose for better data transmission or better compatibility.
However, there is a saying that wool is on the sheep. It has not long been that Intel has significantly reduced its subsidies to major manufacturers (that is, the "Intel Inside" project), and that Intel subsequently announced that it will be part of the CPU. The integrated wifi function now announces the integration of Thunderbolt 3 in the CPU, and it also grants free licenses. Is that the "Intel Inside" program's subsidies come here? After all, what kind of game between the big brothers are behind us? We don't need to control. The future of unified interfaces and technology upgrades will inevitably occur. We just need to know that as consumers, we will benefit from it.
