Processor integration, combined with this announcement, is expected to drive large-scale, mainstream adoption of Thunderbolt. As detailed at CES 2019, Intel’s upcoming 10nm processor code-named “Ice Lake” will be the first to integrate Thunderbolt 3. Why It Matters: Previously, Intel shared plans to integrate Thunderbolt 3 into future Intel CPUs and to release the Thunderbolt protocol specification to the industry. –Jason Ziller, general manager, Client Connectivity Division at Intel This, in combination with the integration of Thunderbolt 3 into upcoming Intel processors is a win-win for the industry and consumers.” “Releasing the Thunderbolt protocol specification is a significant milestone for making today’s simplest and most versatile port available to everyone. The convergence of the underlying Thunderbolt and USB protocols will increase compatibility among USB Type-C connector-based products, simplifying how people connect their devices. In addition, the USB Promoter Group announced the pending release of the USB4 specification, based on the Thunderbolt protocol. Intel announced that it contributed the Intel Thunderbolt protocol specification to the USB Promoter Group, enabling other chip makers to build Thunderbolt compatible silicon, royalty-free. What’s New: Intel is well on its way to making the innovation delivered with Thunderbolt™ 3 available to everyone.
