Thunderbolt
is finally catching on to be adopted by the industry in which ASUS motherboards
and is postulated as the first manufacturer to receive its certificate
Thunderbolt P8Z77-V Premium motherboard. Unfortunately, the high price of these
motherboards will remain a problem for most users. To this end ASUS has
developed an alternative that promises to extend support to other models
Thunderbolt motherboards with exclusive prices.
The
solution is its anticipated expansion card ThunderboltEX ranked the first of
its kind which will update Z77 motherboards with chipsets and add H77 to
support the new high-speed interconnect from Intel. In this case, that function
need ThunderboltEX placed in a PCIe x4, with a cable to the header Thunderbolt
which has already been mentioned above, since the panel DisplayPort output I /
O.
The result
as seen in the photograph is a bit annoying for those who hate having wires but
this would be a necessary sacrifice in order to enjoy a bandwidth of 10Gbps and
from a cable to transfer video and data simultaneously. The good news is that
this expansion card is plug & play and no need to install any additional
driver.
At the moment there has been talk of price or
availability date, but if it hits the market with a tentative label is sure to
be a very viable alternative for those who want to try Thunderbolt. As for
compatibility ThunderboltEX speech is supported by all motherboards with
chipset ASUS Z77 and H77 header_TB including the connector.
