Intel says that the the DZ77RE-75K board utilizes all four PCIe lanes connected to a two-channel Cactus Ridge controller and therefore offers full 10Gb/s bidirectional bandwidth, which is the current ceiling bandwidth of the Thunderbolt standard.
The new board also supports USB 3.0, offering customers something Macs don't. The board supports all Intel processors that use the LGA 1155 socket - basically those made for the Sandy Bridge (second-generation Core i Processors) and Ivy Bridge processors. That said, let's see how Thunderbolt is implemented for PC, via the Intel Desktop Board DZ77RE-75K.įirst of all, make sure you notice the "-75K" designation, which means that the board supports the Core -K processors, which are unlocked and therefore great for enthusiasts and the Thunderbolt standard. The two boards are very similar, sharing the same Panther Point chipset and the Cactus Ridge Thunderbolt controller. The new Intel board wasn't the first that supported Thunderbolt for very long, however, since Asus also launched today the Asus P8Z77-V Premium motherboard that also comes with built-in Thunderbolt.

On Monday, however, Intel quietly launched the standard for the PC platform, and today I have in my hand the Intel Desktop Board DZ77RE-75K, the first Thunderbolt-certified motherboard that comes with a built-in Thunderbolt port. Rumor had it Intel would show off PC motherboards that supported Thunderbolt at CES 2012 (which it didn't). There's been a lot of talk about Thunderbolt getting to PCs since the standard was first launched. And by "officially," I mean you can literally buy a motherboard and build a system on your own that supports Thunderbolt. More than a year after it was first launched exclusively for Macs, the Thunderbolt standard is now officially available for PCs, too. Actual TDP may be lower if not all I/Os for chipsets are used.The Intel Desktop Board DZ77RE-75K is the first motherboard from Intel that supports Thunderbolt, sharing the exact Thunderbolt specs as those used in Macs.
