Although a cool name, like the warplane and drag race car, truth is, thunder comes in claps. Lightning comes in bolts.

The funny thing is 15 years ago, Intel had an internal contest to suggest a name for the “586” which became “Pentium”.

My suggestion was “Thunderbolt” (rejected because it wasn’t TM-able)

A true story!
