These are exciting times when the major players in the tech manufacturing world are scheming up their plans for dominating the markets into 2014. Whilst to some extent companies like Apple, Microsoft and Samsung will develop their own technology, they will quite often take advantages of major advances in technology by other companies, such as Intel.
Well Intel has updated its Thunderbolt technology, which they have code-named Falcon Ridge. This smart bit of technology will enable 4K video file transfer and display simultaneously whilst also running at 20 Gbps. This will all be backwards compatible. Whilst we believe this won’t be ready for this summer’s launches, we could very well see this towards Q4 or the beginning of next year. Now, this may all sound a little technical so let us explain the implications this technology could have.
Essentially, the Retina displays that you are all clambering over in iPads and MacBooks could be coming to larger displays. Indeed the guy who created Instapaper blogged earlier that:
Just how soon Apple could get its hands on this technology we don’t know. We have already reported that new versions of the MacBook could be coming at the end of the second quarter, so it may need to wait for the next versions before we see this technology appear.
