Everyone that reads technology website knows that Thunderbolt is not something new. It has been on the Apple platform for a year or more. Intel Z77 chipset was announced 2 months ago but it just didn’t include the Thunderbolt support within it’s chipset. Instead it has a seperate INTEL DSL3510L chip to power the Thunderbolt ports on board (at the rear of the motherboard).
