Intel recently announced its support for Thunderbolt 3. Intel plans to integrate Thunderbolt 3 in its own processors, in the hope that it will become the most versatile port in which everyone will use. If Thunderbolt 3 becomes the standard, manufacturers can make systems smaller and thinner systems.Intel plans to make the Thunderbolt protocol specification available to the industry under a nonexclusive, royalty-free license. This will encourage third party chip makers to build Thunderbolt-compatible chips, in which it can accelerate its adoption.
