AMD supports OpenCL, have since the Radeon 5000 series. Intel is a different story, but I don't see many people running FCX on a 13" screen or a Mini.

I think TB will have a harder time gaining traction, because you'll need a whole new motherboard to support it. USB or FW support could be added with a PCI card, Expresscard...this is useless because I don't plan on upgrading my computer (PC) fo…
