It was continued rumoured that the early-2011 MacBook Pro amend would cover some array of new abstracts port, and a lot of of the belief appropriate it would be Light Peak.25 At the time, there were no abstracts on the concrete implementation, and mock-ups appeared assuming a arrangement agnate to the beforehand Intel demos application a accumulated USB/Light Peak port.26 Shortly afore the absolution of the new machines, the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) appear they would not acquiesce this, advertence that USB was not accessible to modification in this way.
In animosity of these comments and speculation, the addition came as a above abruptness if it was appear that the anchorage was based on Mini DisplayPort, not USB. As the arrangement was described, Intel's band-aid to the affectation affiliation botheration became clear: Thunderbolt controllers bend abstracts from absolute DisplayPort systems with abstracts from the PCI Express anchorage into a individual cable. Earlier displays, application DisplayPort 1.1 or earlier, acquire to be amid at the end of a Thunderbolt accessory chain, but newer displays can be placed anywhere forth the line.22 Thunderbolt accessories can go anywhere on the chain. In this respect, Thunderbolt shares a accord with the earlier ACCESS.bus system, which acclimated the affectation adapter to abutment a low-speed bus.
Apple published27 abstruse abstracts answer that 6 daisy-chained peripherals are accurate per Thunderbolt port, and that the Affectation should lie at the end of the chain.

In February 2011, Apple alien its new band of MacBook Pro laptop computers and appear the technology's bartering name would be Thunderbolt, with these machines getting the aboriginal to affection the new I/O technology.
In May 2011, Apple appear a new band of iMacs that cover the Thunderbolt interface.34
The Thunderbolt anchorage on the new Macs is in the aforementioned area about to added ports and maintains the aforementioned concrete ambit and pin out as the bequest Mini DisplayPort connector. The primary beheld adverse on Thunderbolt able Macs is a Thunderbolt attribute instead of a DisplayPort attribute next to the anchorage opening.8
The DisplayPort accepted is partially accordant with Thunderbolt, as the two allotment Apple's physically accordant Mini DisplayPort connector. The Target Affectation approach on iMacs requires a Thunderbolt cable to acquire a video-in arresting from addition Thunderbolt-capable computer.35 Mini DisplayPort monitors action accurately as an alien adviser after an adaptor if they are either the alone or the endure accessory in the Thunderbolt accessory chain.
Intel appear that a developer kit would be appear in the additional division of 2011,36 while manufacturers of accouterments development accessories acquire adumbrated they will add abutment for the testing and development of Thunderbolt devices.37 The developer kit was not yet accessible as of 21 July 2011, with Intel adage that absorbed parties bare to accumulate blockage later.38
