So how does this work? Shouldn't it have a Thunderbolt controller on there somewhere too?

- potkor 14y agoMaybe the thunderbolt cable is short and well-shielded enough that they can just run plain pci express over it.
- kika 14y agothunderbolt IS the PCI express bus (plus Displayport)
- potkor 14y agoIt carries the pcie protocol but pretty obiously it's not electrically identical to pci express (external cables and connectors don't generally provide as good signal integrity as required by pcie that is happening on your motherboard).
- DrJ 14y agothere is one on the other side..
