I'm kind of shocked that they got an integrated Thunderbolt controller working as fast as they did, even if version one doesn't support every feature.
Apple is shipping an integrated Thunderbolt controller before Intel does with Tigerlake.
- vetinari 6y agoIntel Tiger Lake machines are already being sold. XPS 13 9310, for example.
- GeekyBear 6y agoWell, what do you know. PC Magazine just reviewed it yesterday.
- wil421 6y agoThunderbolt is one of the things keeping me on intel for now. I am happy Apple added it but not sure Apple Silicon can handle the video editing and transcoding at the speed I’d like it to.
- hajile 6y agoIce Lake had integrated Thunderbolt last year.
- gumby 6y agoI'm actually excited by this aspect, even if incomplete. This means it can come to future iPads as well.
- bartvk 6y agoYeah, I always figured this would be one of the major obstacles to overcome. In hindsight, it's now clear why there are so much Apple people in these USB-C standards documents. Do we know whose IP they use? And is it integrated on die, or integrated in the package of the SoC?
