One PC is not enough? With Intel's new Thunderbolt Share, you can chain 2 PCs together

In a week of huge AI announcements, some PC news slips Yesterday, Intel quietly announced Thunderbolt Share and a new way to share between Pcs 

Share is a proprietary software app licensed by Intel to laptop, desktop and PC manufacturers such as msi, Acer and Belkin For computers with Thunderbolt 4 or 5, Thunderbolt Share allows you to connect two computers directly to each other via a standard Thunderbolt cable

Basically, we were able to share between two PCs over the years via USB or Thunderbolt However, the share works like trading Pokemon in Game Boy, but the speed is faster 

However, this process will require an Oem-licensed Thunderbolt app Also, Intel has already said that this will only work on Windows devices and will not be available to Apple users 

Intel claims that Thunderbolt Share allows users to share their mouse, keyboard, screen, storage and other USB peripherals It works between monitors, desktops and laptops and is supposed to be flexible in the way users connect devices 

File sharing seems to be a major feature of Share Instead of sharing individual files, you can sync folders between 2 computers Intel has shown an example of how photographers can quickly transfer files from a laptop to a desktop It can also be used to sync Lightroom libraries

Specifically, Intel has invoked the ability to transfer data directly from an old computer to a new one via thunderbolt 

The Pc can be connected via a Thunderbolt port, and if the port is missing, you can connect Thunderbolt accessories such as a dock or monitor However, you cannot share an Internet connection, and it can affect users of multiple projects 

According to Intel's slide show, users can mirror a computer's screen to another computer, which is 1080p resolution and zero compression For example, gamers can have games on their desktop and laptop as the 2nd screen to run other programs, like Valorant's stat tracker

Intel claims that the manufacturer is already working on accessories and Thunderbolt-enabled computers The company did not provide an exact date as to when Thunderbolt shares will be available, but it expects to debut in the second half of 2024
