Thunderbolt: interview with Intel’s Jason Ziller, Director of Thunderbolt Planning/Marketing

At Computex this year we showed off three new motherboards featuring dual Thunderbolt ports. We were fortunate enough to catch up with Jason Ziller, Intel's head of Thunderbolt Planning and Marketing, for a brief description of what makes Thunderbolt unique, the differences between the dual port and the single port options, as well as how things are progressing with the new top speed connectivity standard.
