IFixit assumed that the QS67 chipset integrated Intel's Thunderbolt controller. In fact, there are only two flip-chip parts on the motherboard - the Core i5 and the QS67 chipset.ฤก3-inch MacBook Air (Mid 2011) Motherboard, QS67 (left), Intel Core i5 (right) - Courtesy iFixit If you look at iFixit's teardown of the new 13-inch MacBook Air you'll notice the absence of the traditional flip-chip Thunderbolt controller from the MacBook Pro, iMac and Mac mini. Both the new Mac mini and the MacBook Air now support Thunderbolt as well, although the Air's implementation is slightly different. We first met Thunderbolt on the 2011 MacBook Pro and saw it again on the iMac. The other major change to the new MacBook Air is support for Intel's new Thunderbolt interface.
