Itekhnoloji ye-Intel Thunderbolt ijika i-10 kulo nyaka, unetyala kwi-Apple's 2011 MacBook Pro kwaye kude kube kude nasekufezekiseni impumelelo ebekulindelwe yinkampani, Iindudumo Kuyacaca ukuba isagcinelwe intengiso yemarike namhlanje.
Nangona kunjalo, kwisikhumbuzo seminyaka elishumi yetekhnoloji, I-Intel ithatha indlela entsha enokukuvumela ukuba uvule iThunderbolt kubaphulaphuli ababanzi, njengoko i-Intel idibanise iThunderbolt ngqo kwisizukulwane sayo seeprosesa zeCore eziphathwayo, ezibizwa ngokuba yiTiger Lake, yiyo loo nto ishenxisa umrhumo ohlawulwa ngabavelisi bePC ukuyifumana.
Kulabo abangaqhelekanga ngeThunderbolt, kuya kufuneka uyazi ukuba olu luhlobo lonxibelelwano olukhawulezayo lwePC, umsebenzi wayo owaqala ngo-2007, ngokusekwe kumqondo we-Intel's Light Peak.
I-Apple yayiza kuqala ibhalise uphawu lwentengiso lweThunderbolt, ngaphambi kokuba idluliselwe kwi-Intel. Itekhnoloji yaqala ukusetyenziswa kwi-MacBook Pro ngoFebruwari ka-2011 ngezibuko elisekwe kwi-DisplayPort encinci eyayineendlela ezimbini kunye ne-bandwidth ye-10 Gb / s nganye, ivumela ukuya kuthi ga kwizixhobo ezithandathu ukuba zixhunywe kwityathanga.
I-Intel ilindele ukuba iThunderbolt ibe sisixhobo semihla ngemihla kubasebenzisi beekhompyuter, kodwa kwakungekho.
Ukuqhuba ukwamkelwa kwale teknoloji, i-Intel idibanise iThunderbolt okokugqibela kwakhe Iiprosesa zeLiger Lake, Oko kuthetha ukuba abavelisi beekhompyuter banokufumana iThunderbolt ngaphandle kokuhlawula ngaphezulu ngeetshipsi ezahlukeneyo zolawulo. Ngeetshipsi ze-Intel ezisetyenziswa ngokubanzi, inkampani yaseSanta Clara ithi itekhnoloji yeThunderbolt ngoku iza kuba nexesha layo.
Ngapha koko, uninzi lwabantu, izixhobo ze-USB ziyasebenza, kodwa abasebenzisi "abanzulu" bafuna ukusebenza ngokukuko kunye nokuthembeka, into i-USB engayi kubanikeza.
Kwaye ukusebenziseka kweThunderbolt kuya kuba kubaluleke ngakumbi kunangaphambiliNjengabavelisi beelaptop abaninzi nangakumbi ababonelela ngeekhompyuter ezincinci kunye namazibuko ambalwa. Kuxhomekeka kubuchwephesha, amazibuko eThunderbolt abonelela ngonxibelelwano olukhawulezayo noluxhaphakileyo kwizixhobo zokugcina zangaphandle, iimonitha, iiadaptha zenethiwekhi, nokunye okuninzi, kwaye banokuthi bathathe indawo yamazibuko e-HDMI, i-DisplayPort, i-Ethernet kunye namandla.
Ngokomzekelo, i-Thunderbolt 4 entsha kulindeleke, Ibhengezwe kwi-CES 2020, vumela Izikhululo zokumisa izilwanyana kunye neehabhu ezininzi zinikezela amazibuko amathathu eeNdudumo endaweni yelinye.
I-Intel ixhomekeke kuwo onke amanqaku, kunye nezinto ezintsha ezibonayo, ukuba ithi iThunderbolt izoyisa ngaphezulu kwe-USB kule minyaka ilishumi.
"Ndilindele ukuba nge-2022, iThunderbolt izakubakhona ngaphezulu kwe-50% yee-PC ezithengisiweyo," utshilo uJason Ziller, ophethe iimveliso zonxibelelwano ze-Intel, esongeza ukuba ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha seelaptops eziza kusiwa kunyaka olandelayo Baza "ngokuqinisekileyo" yizise iteknoloji.
Ngenxa yale nto, Abahlalutyi baqikelela ukuba iThunderbolt inako ukusasazeka ngokubanzi ngo-2022. Oku kuya kwenzeka ngakumbi xa i-Alder Lake isizukulwane seetshiphusi, ezihlangwini zeTiger Lake, zidityaniswa kwiiPC zencopho namhlanje ezingasebenzisi iprosesa exhotyiswe ngeThunderbolt. I-Thunderbolt ikwayinxalenye ye-Intel's "Evo" brand yokukhuthaza ii-laptops eziphezulu zokuba i-Intel ithatha amandla kwaye iyaphendula ngobomi obulungileyo bebhetri. Ukudityaniswa kwezi zinto zimbini kunokunceda iThunderbolt iphumelele kwihlabathi apho i-USB ilawula khona.
Kwakhona, kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba I-Thunderbolt yayikhawuleza kakhulu kune-USB kudluliso lwedatha, kodwa i-USB iyahlaziya ngokuthe ngcembe. Inguqulelo entsha ye-USB, i-USB 4, nangona inqabile kwiimveliso ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, inokutshatisa i-40 Gb / s yeThunderbolt.
Nangona kunjalo, I-Thunderbolt kulindeleke ukuba ikhawuleze xa ikhutshwa, enokuyinika isantya esitsha gross, ukuthembeka kunye nezinye izakhono. Ukuba ubuninzi bebhendi yeThunderbolt 4 yi-40 Gb / s, iinjineli zeIntel ziqikelela ukuba iThunderbolt 5 inokufikelela kwi-80 Gb / s.
"Namhlanje ibhendi yethu yebhasi yedatha kwiThunderbolt 4 ilungelelaniswe nokusebenza kwePCIe Gen 3 × 4, kwaye kwezinye zezicelo zethu zokugcina siyabona ukuba isantya sokugcina kolu hlobo lwefomathi sele siphindwe kabini."
