Thunderbolt vs. USB 3.0 at IDF 2011To USB or Not to USB: A USB IP Blog - Eric Huang, SynopsysSep. 21, 2011 |
At IDF 2011, we saw a lot of new Thunderbolt peripherals. Mostly storage, but a few docking stations. I will post my pictures of those tomorrow.
It appears that Thunderbolt will remain a chip solution and the Innovator that created Thunderbolt will bring out cheaper chips according to Ars Technica. Also, PC makers like ASUS and Acer may bring out Ultrabooks supporting Thunderbolt. I should point out that Ultrabooks are equivalent to MacBook Air and are more expensive than standard laptops by 50-70% or more.
This also looks to me like Thunderbolt will not be made available for SoC integration.
