Intel unveils Thunderbolt 5 with up to 120 Gbps of bandwidth

Thunderbolt five is official and it is a soar ahead in terms of velocity. It brings the bandwidth from 40 Gbps all the manner as much as one hundred twenty Gbps, has double the PCIe lanes, and can supply as a great deal as 240W of electricity via one USB-C cable.

Technically, in a widespread configuration, Thunderbolt five will provide eighty Gbps - the usage of two of its four PCIe lanes in bi-directional bandwidth. That's twice as fast as Thunderbolt four. However, when extra bandwidth is needed (inclusive of for high-res displays), Thunderbolt five can send up to forty Gbps down three of its 4 lanes - transmitting 120 Gbps and receiving 40 Gbps.

All of that bandwidth will permit for 3 4K 144Hz displays strolling concurrently, more than one 8K displays, or a unmarried monitor at up to a daft 540Hz.

With up to 240W of viable charging, Thunderbolt five could permit even gaming laptops to ditch the proprietary chargers and just use USB-C.

Thunderbolt 4 is not going away, but. Intel will reserve Thunderbolt 5 for content advent, gaming, and computer systems, even as Thunderbolt 4 will stay on for users that do not want as a great deal bandwidth.

Thunderbolt 5 is not part of Intel's 14th gen processors and as an alternative would require a discrete chip, codenamed Barlow Ridge. Intel says the first machines with Thunderbolt 5 are coming in 2024.
