Intel DZ77RE: The original motherboard design Thunderbolt

The site Donanimhaber.com shows a slide that shows the roadmap of the upcoming motherboards Intel chipset 7 series, designed for the next Intel Ivy Bridge 22nm LGA in 1155. So far nothing new except that the slide is shown an interesting news regarding the high-end motherboard DZ77RE, the first and only series that will integrate the new interface Thunderbolt to 10 Gbps.

Do not know if the slide is plausible because the choice seems somewhat anomalous since we expect this "integration" on a platform shall be such as Extreme Ivy Bridge LGA 2011.We can do is wait for further news or denials.
