Does Haswell have integrated thunderbolt?

[GWestphal]

I thought one of the features was going to be integrated thunderbolt support? Is that not the case? I haven't seen anyone talking about it. Or has this been deferred to Broadwell?

I assume you mean chipset? The answer is no. 9 series chipset with Broadwell will not have it integrated either.

Shucks. Well Broadwell is supposed to integrate the chipset onto the CPU package, right? Or do they need separate chips for thunderbolt or is it going to be in the chipset?

No. Its the same as today with ULT chips. Haswell ULT got the chipset on package.
