Since the moment Intel first announced the releasing of brand new processors for PC, i always wondered just why the MacBook Pro didnt jump through flows, but yeah, I know this was coming! Apple just released its new customized MacBook Pro with highly better specification, and yes, it also comes with a brand new technology which could potentially lead the new way of people seeing and speculating upon the Apple world!
Okay, let's cover the specification first, the new released edition officially comes with the new Intel Sandy Bridge Core i5 and i7 processors, AMD Radeon HD 6000M graphics,FaceTime HD cameras, and the newly released ultra super fast Thunderbolt I/O transfer speed! So here, we should be seeing the NVIDIA no more for now.
"What the heck is the Thunderbolt I/O transfer rate?"
Good question there, i believed the majority over here acknowledged the term poorly. So now i'm going to explain a brief introduction and include opinions from other people about the system. Need more details? Wisely use your Google toolbar.
It is the new technology that capable to challenge the USB 3.0, compromising of giving a transfer rate up to 10gb/second; in other saying from Intel itself, such rate allows the transferring of 10 to 20gb basis in size, full-length movie HD movie in less than 30 seconds! Apple stated also that the Thunderbolt will be running on copper and not the optical cables due to the reason of obtaining the capability to support bus-powered devices.
Based on the statement made by Imran Ghauri from engadget.com,
"Architecture - FireWire vs. USB 2.0
FireWire, built from the ground up for speed, uses a "Peer-to-Peer" architecture in which the peripherals are intelligent and can negotiate bus conflicts to determine which device can best control a data transfer
USB 2.0 uses a "Master-Slave" architecture in which the computer handles all arbitration functions and dictates data flow to, from and between the attached peripherals (adding additional system overhead and resulting in slower, less-efficient data flow control)
Thunderbolt is "Peer-to-Peer" architecture "
Get the picture already?

The current macbook pro might have got thunderbolt but did you hear the rumor that the next gen macbook pros are gonna get something way cooler - OLED is the word!
