Intel Announces 2nd Gen. Thunderbolt with Increased Bandwidth
At the ongoing Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2013 event in Beijing, Intel announced second-generation Thunderbolt specification. Pin and plug-compatible with existing Thunderbolt devices, the second-generation Thunderbolt doubles bandwidth over its predecessor, offering devices an enormous 20 Gb/s of bandwidth, four times that of USB 3.0 SuperSpeed. The bandwidth enables users the ability to transfer uncompressed 4K Ultra-HD video without causing display to lag.
To back the specification, Intel announced the "Falcon Ridge" line of Thunderbolt host controllers, mass production of which will commence by late-2013, going into 2014. In addition, the company launched two "Redwood Ridge" host controllers, DSL4510 and DSL4410. The two add DisplayPort 1.2 capability when connecting to native DP displays, improve power management, and reduce platform BOM cost.

Also i expect Thunderbolt to come standard with mainstream Haswell motherboards as Intel is waving it all around. Otherwise this looks like an Apple commercial.
A dock may not sound pleasant, but it's the only way to distribute those kind of power requirements.
I think you will be out of luck powering a monitor with anything of the sort.
Just having fun Frick... the items are out there, but not a lot of them and they are pricey as hell.
