Sure, you've seen the
announcement of Thunderbolt on the PC, the
chips that'll power it and a bevy of
compatible accessories, but how about actual proof of Thunderbolt working on Windows? Hidden deep in the recesses of
IDF's technical showcase, we found just that and immortalized it on video for all to see. Essentially the same
Chipzilla demo as when we first witnessed the interconnect on Macs, we watched the playback of four 1080p streams devour over 700MB of throughput off a PCIe attached SSD. You know the drill, serious bit slinging awaits in the gallery below and video after the break.
