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.
