Sandy Bridge (processor) is going to rock!

It’s also been noted that this “Thunderbolt” I/O port is different too:

The big surprise for us is the inclusion of what Apple is calling Thunderbolt. This appears to be the Light Peak implementation that was rumored earlier this week. Light Peak is Intel’s next generation connector technology that offers super-fast data transfer speeds, while also working with a multitude of different devices.

It looks like Apple is integrating Thunderbolt into its standard Mini DisplayPort, meaning the same port can power displays and act as a high-speed I/O connection.

Ah, time will tell, won’t it? I’ll be getting one I believe – just have to clear it with the Mrs.
