Ngokuqaliswa kweMacBook Pros ekuqaleni kuka-2011, i-Apple yaba ngumkhiqizi wokuqala ukusebenzisa i-Intel's Thunderbolt technology, ehlinzeka nge-speed speed kanye nokuxhumeka kwevidiyo kumadivayisi we-computing.
I-Thunderbolt ekuqaleni yayibizwa ngokuthi i-Light Peak ngoba i-Intel yayihlose ubuchwepheshe bokusebenzisa i-fiber optics; ngakho-ke ukubhekisela kokukhanya egameni. I-Peak Ekhanyayo kwakuzosebenza njenge-interconnection ebonakalayo ezovumela amakhompiyutha ukuba athumele idatha ngokusheshisa okusheshayo; izosetshenziselwa kokubili ngaphakathi futhi njengengxenyeni yangaphandle yedatha.
Njengoba i-Intel ithuthukise ubuchwepheshe, kwacaca ukuthi ukwethembela ku-fiber optics ukuxhunyaniswa kwakuzokwandisa kakhulu izindleko. Ngokuhamba kokubili kokusika izindleko futhi baletha ubuchwepheshe ukuthengiswa ngokushesha, i-Intel yakhiqiza inguqulo ye-Light Peak engakwazi ukugijima ngekhamera yokuthutha. Ukuqaliswa okusha kutholakale negama elisha: I-Thunderbolt.
I-Thunderbolt igijima ku-10 Gbps bi-directionally ngesiteshi ngasinye futhi isekela iziteshi ezimbili ekuchazeni kwayo kokuqala. Lokhu kusho ukuthi i-Thunderbolt ingathumela iphinde ithole idatha ngesikhathi esisodwa ngezinga le-10 Gbps wesiteshi ngasinye, okwenza i-Thunderbolt ibe yiyodwa yamapayipi wedatha esheshayo atholakalayo kumadivayisi wabathengi. Ukuqhathanisa, iteknoloji yokushintshaniswa yedatha yamanje isekela amazinga alandelayo yedatha.
| Isikhombisi-ndlela | Isivinini | Amanothi |
|---|---|---|
| I-USB 2 | 480 Mbps | |
| I-USB 3 | 5 Gbps | |
| I-USB 3.1 Gen 2 | 10 Gbps | |
| Firewire 400 | 400 Mbps | |
| Firewire 800 | 800 Mbps | |
| Firewire 1600 | I-1.6 Gbps | Akusetshenzisiwe yi-Apple |
| Firewire 3200 | 3.2 Gbps | Akusetshenzisiwe yi-Apple |
| I-SATA 1 | 1.5 Gbps | |
| SATA 2 | 3 Gbps | |
| SATA 3 | 6 Gbps | |
| I-Thunderbolt 1 | 10 Gbps | isiteshi ngasinye |
| I-Thunderbolt 2 | 20 Gbps | isiteshi ngasinye |
| I-Thunderbolt 3 | 40 Gbps | isiteshi ngasinye. isebenzisa isixhumi se-USB-C |
Njengoba ubona, i-Thunderbolt isivele isheshe kabili njengoba i-USB 3, futhi iyasebenza kakhulu.
I-DisplayPort ne-Thunderbolt
I-Thunderbolt isekela izivumelwano ezimbili zokuxhumana ezihlukene: I- PCI Express yokudluliswa kwedatha ne-DisplayPort ngolwazi lwevidiyo. Lezi zivumelwano ezimbili zingasetshenziswa ngesikhathi esisodwa kwikhebula elilodwa lokuThuthukisa.
Lokhu kuvumela i- Apple ukuthi isebenzise i-Thunderbolt port ukushayela i-monitor ngokubonisa uxhumano lwe- DisplayPort noma i- Mini DisplayPort , kanye nokuxhuma kumakhemikhali angaphandle, njengamashayela asebenzayo .
I-Thunderbolt Daisy Chain
Ubuchwepheshe be-Thunderbolt isebenzisa ukhenketho oludinga ukuxhuma amadivaysi ayisithupha. Okwamanje, lokhu kunemikhawulo ewusizo. Uma uzosebenzisa i-Thunderbolt ukushayela isibonisi, kufanele kube yile divayisi yokugcina ku-chain, ngoba izibonisi zamanje ze-DisplayPort azikho izikebhe zokudonsa ze-Thunderbolt ze-daisy.
Ubude bekhebula be-Thunderbolt
I-Thunderbolt isekela izintambo ezifakwe wired kuze kufike kumamitha amathathu ubude ngezingxenye zezinkinobho eziyinkimbinkimbi. Amakhodi asebenzayo angaba ngamashumi amamitha ubude. I-Light Peak spec yasekuqaleni idinga izingcingo zokuvula kuze kube ngamamitha ayi-100. I-Thunderbolt specs isekela kokubili uxhumano lwezethusi nolwazi, kodwa iklabhu ye-optical ayitholakali okwamanje.
Ikhebula le-Optical Thunderbolt
Ichweba le-Thunderbolt lisekela ukuxhuma usebenzisa i-wired (shayela) noma iklabhu ye-optical. Ngokungafani nezinye izixhumi ezibambe iqhaza, i-Port Thunderbolt ayinayo izakhi ezakhelwe ngaphakathi. Esikhundleni salokho, i-Intel ihlose ukwakha izintambo ezibonakalayo ezine-transceiver optical ezakhiwe ekupheleni kwekhebula ngalinye.
Izinketho zamandla we-Thunderbolt
Ichweba le-Thunderbolt linganikeza amandla angama-watts angu-10 emandla ngaphezu kwezingcingo ze-Thunderbolt.
Amanye amadivaysi angaphandle angaba yi-powered power, ngendlela efanayo, ukuthi amanye amadivaysi wangaphandle namuhla anikwe amandla we-USB.
Amapheripherhini anikwe amandla we-Thunderbolt
Lapho kukhishwa okokuqala ngo-2011, kwakungekho amakhemikhali anikezwe amandla e-Thunderbolt angakwazi ukuxhuma kwichweba le-Mac Thunderbolt. I-Apple inikeza i-Thunderbolt kuya ku-cable ye-DisplayPort encane futhi ine-adapters etholakalayo yokusebenzisa i-Thunderbolt ne-DVI ne-VGA ukubonisa kanye ne-Firewire 800 i-adapter.
Amadivayisi we-third party aqala ukubonakala ngo-2012 futhi okwamanje, kunamacala amaningi ahlukahlukene okumele athathe kusuka kubandakanya ukubonisa, izinhlelo zokugcina, iziteshi zokukhokha, amadivaysi alalelwayo / ividiyo nokunye okuningi.
