When it comes to speed, you put the minds at Intel together with the hardware at Apple and Thunderbolt is born. And it’s fast. Way fast.

Light Peak was a big source of speculation before the release of the new MacBook Pro. The kinds of speeds that they’re talking about — truly a game-changer. I’m interested in seeing how this affects peripherals and the next generation of other devices.
