Intel has unveiled plans to roll out Thunderbolt 5 connectivity for Windows-based PCs in 2024, with a particular focus on systems equipped with Core and Xeon processors, potentially leaving AMD’s Ryzen and Threadripper systems out of the picture. However, one of the most intriguing beneficiaries of this announcement could be none other than Apple.
It’s easy to overlook the fact that Apple is the mastermind behind Thunderbolt technology, and Mac computers boast more Thunderbolt ports than any other platform.
Recall that Apple introduced the original Thunderbolt back in February 2011 and has remained devoted to this technology ever since. All recent Apple computers come equipped with at least one Thunderbolt 4 port, and some, like the MacBook Air, rely solely on Thunderbolt ports.
